Yes, it does have libwrap compiled in.  It is the standard debian

For some reason tye content of /etc/hosts.deny on both woody servers was

ALL: PARANOID

after changing it to 

ALL: ALL 
or
ALL: ALL@ALL, PARANOID # like on my sarge desktop

everthing works as it should.

Thanks.  Your message helped me to look at  /etc/deny again.

Regards.
