Having switched my two systems from their fake names to the

hosts by their local aliases.

What's the configuration I need to be able to use the short aliases
on these two hosts?

I believe you have not filled in the fields correctly.

numeric.addr alpha.addr alias

in the first you have numeric.addr alias
and the second numberic.addr alpha.addr alias xxxxxx

I got the impression multiple aliases were supported.


try

twain:
# Fayette208 LAN
208.201.233.232 208-202-233-232.dsl.static.sonic.net twain
208.201.233.233 208-201-233-233.dsl.static.sonic.net smiley

I still get this (from twain, with the aforementioned entries
in /etc/hosts):

% host twain
Host twain not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

% host smiley
Host smiley not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)


It's almost as if /etc/hosts isn't being consulted at all. Along those
lines, resolv.conf includes these (non-comment) lines:

search sonic.net
nameserver 208.201.224.11
nameserver 208.201.224.33
