 Calling hosts_access is the only way of finding out, 'cos the severity
 might depend on any of the things on which tcp wrappers can match on. I
 think we need to reset them each time 'cos otherwise if we don't set the
 severity in /etc/hosts.allow for the current service we'll just get the
 last used severity.
 
 I think resetting each time is the correct behavior...
