there are two ways you can get a short name to work
- use a sys=xyz entry.  if you also want to use dns to
reach this node it would be conventional to have sys=xyz dom=xyz.dom.

- having a proper ipnet to guide the terminal in selecting
a default dns domain.  i think at the minimum.  please see
/lib/ndb/local.complicated.  (although the ipnet there does
defined some unused-by-the-distribution keywords.)
