Does sshd not honor hosts.deny entries?

It does if it's built with --with-tcp-wrappers.

I'm running
OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-2, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006

The Debian version seems to be built thus.

Odd. It's not working.

$ ldd /usr/sbin/sshd
      linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
      libwrap.so.0 => /lib/libwrap.so.0 (0xa7f5c000)

Oh right, forgot i could do that.  So i did that, and i get the same
result: libwrap is linked.

Soooo... if debian compiled it with libwrap, any other thoughts as to
why it would decide not to work?  I can't find any sshd_config option
that would enable, disable, confirm or deny this functionality.
