A couple of ideas:

Install ipfw. Null route the offending IPs as they make attempts or most
simply:

Install tcp_wrappers manually. That is the way it had to be done before the
functionality was included by default.

I know many people on here will tell you to just upgrade, but you wouldn't
be asking the question if that was your preferred option, right?

I've got an old 2.2.8 system with someone making multiple attempts to gain
access through ftp.

There's no hosts.allow in the /etc dir.  Is there a way I can deny all
connections from this specific ip?

Thanks.s
