Looks like you're using the extended syntax for tcp_wrappers. In that
case, you should put all your entries into hosts.allow. For example:

    sshd: ALL: ALLOW
    exim: ALL: DENY


Note also that i've seen some versions of tcp_wrappers be somewhat
finicky about whitespace before the colons; you might try leaving it
out (as shown in the example above).

: I compiled 3.02 _with_ wrappers (Local/Makefile):
: USE_TCP_WRAPPERS=yes
: CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
: LFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
: EXTRALIBS=-lwrap
:
: The compile completes without any errors, as does the install.

: But exim simply ignores my wrappers entries.

: I've tried in hosts.deny (for testing):
: exim : ALL : deny

: and a remote "telnet <mail system> mail" still gets the exim prompt.

: ALL : ALL : deny
:
: Still gets the exim prompt, however a "telnet <mail system>" gets denied
: as expected.

: Any suggestions? Any other way to trouble shoot this?
