I tried various combinations in /etc/host.conf, even eliminating the
"hosts" entry entirely. (All the correct host addrs are also listed in
/etc/hosts, even localhost.) It unfortunately makes no difference for
telnet which still refuses to lookup the hostname. Screwy.
I'm running the standard/default FBSD /etc/host.conf file as
built/installed by mergemaster, which appears to be the same as what's
under /usr/src/etc/host.conf.
