>From reading the man page for gethostbyname(3) I see that I can set
the environment variable HOSTALIASES to point to a file with local
aliases.  When I do that, it doesn't seem to be working.

$ cat hostalias
deb ftp.debian.org

$ export HOSTALIASES=$HOME/hostalias

$ ftp deb
ftp: deb: Name or service not known

Has anyone gotten HOSTALIASES to work properly?  I'm running sarge.
