Hi, To be frank, the ubuntu man pages is the only page where I found that pattern using integers. So I may have to agree with what Syam chettan says. If you must replace the integer with a dotted decimal subnet mask, remember that 24 corresponds to 255.255.255.0 (the masklength format may still work)
But that is not all the problem there is with the hosts.allow/deny files. The second problem is with the second address pattern "10.165.2.1/24". Since the full address of 32 bits is given, it apparently points to a single host. Why do you still use a subnet mask? But then, there is a much more serious problem- most of the lines in the file don't match the format given by [man hosts.allow]. The default format is: daemon_list : client_list [ : shell_command ] but nowhere in the file is the daemon list given. Probably, this is the reason why ':' character is listed as missing. Besides, the lines after the ip list, that starts with ~ character- doesn't match any access control rule (refer: ACCESS CONTROL RULES, hosts.allow man pages). I am not really an IT engineer, so I can't really give you a final answer. You will need to have it examined by an experienced person.
