$ cat $HOSTFILE
192.25.206.10   www.debian.org
$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At that point I press TAB, but nothing happens, bash does not complete
the hostname. However, if I delete the ww characters, bash offers some
216 hostnames (I don't know where does it get all these hostnames). I'm
not sure if it matters, but the /etc/nsswitch.conf file contains this
line:
hosts:  files nis dns

The 'getent hosts' commands returns more than 600 hostnames, so bash
definitely does not offer all these hostnames, but it offers hostnames
like:
 |1|tyRLEWAhJqfLu2hiN3Nfqf5PS5U=|410N02nzJsM0sIQfOfPKp8PqHdw=

which looks strange.

By the way, hostname completition works on sarge, but that's a lot
earlier bash version.
