^O happens to be the tty driver's `flush output' character.  You
have to disable that with `stty flush u' before ^O works.

You need to provide the name of a file in /etc/hosts format for bash
to use as the value of the `hostname_completion_file' variable.  If
that variable doesn't exist, bash uses /etc/hosts.  Since you're on
a Sun, I suspect your /etc/hosts is quite small.  Try

	ypcat hosts > /tmp/hosts.$$
	hostname_completion_file=/tmp/hosts.$$

Bash completion does not do globbing.
