	Yes. I have mine working. It turns out that for some reason the
hosts.deny file is not getting referenced. The answer is to put all the
rules in the hosts.allow file. Here is an excerpt from mine that should
help you. 

fingerd:ALL@ALL:banners /usr/local/etc/tcpd/finger.deny:DENY
ftpd: ALL@ALL:ALLOW
sshd: ALL@ALL:ALLOW
ALL: ALL@ALL:DENY

	You will notice that the additional tokens for ALLOW and DENY
cause the correct action to take place. Please note that I un-commented
the ALL: ALL@ALL:DENY on my system to show you the reference in case you
attempt to try it on my system. I normally allow connections but will turn
it off on certain occasions.
