Upon reading this I thought this could be confusing. What I meant to
say was that after your connection is accepted by the tcp_wrapper it
also has to be accepted by the process listening to that port. That could
be a inetd process (in.telnetd or something like that for example), but
also a tcp_wrapper enabled daemon (like ssh).
So, if you are sure that your hosts.allow and hosts.deny files are as
you want them then maybe it's wise to make sure the config file for
the process listening to the port you're trying to connect to is OK.
I wasted an hour once by only looking at the hosts files, and forgetting
about the config file... Mind you, chances are it's just something in
the hosts.allow file. So make sure they are as they should be.
man host_access
will be very helpful when configuring the tcp_wrapper.
