Confused about tcp_wrappers and sshd

I just retested on FC3.  The ssh that comes
with the standard repos does honor the 
/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files.
I am not real familiar with the HOSTDENY program,
but if it updates /etc/hosts.deny, ssh will
honor it.  The tcpwrappers program also checks
/etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow.

You can easily test this by hand.
