By default the tcp_wrapper will NOT look in /etc for the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. I can't remember where it does look but it is easily changed by editing the Makefile. On a similar topic, I am have been unable to get the wrapper to perform an identd lookup on the remote host, even with the RFC1413 option enabled in the Makefile. Are the results of the lookup included in /var/log/messages when successful?
