Michael,
Is your SMTP server actually _using_ tcpwrappers? Most of them do not. You
would have to be starting it like this:
/usr/sbin/tcpd /path/to/your/smtpdaemon

Subject: SuSE 8 /etc/hosts.deny and CIDR
Hi Folks,
Can you use CIDR addressing in /etc/hosts.deny? This is SuSE 8 by the way.
I've got a statement in hosts.deny which reads:
ALL: 192.168.0.0/18
to reject everything from 192.168. (actual IP's are different) but an IP
address in that range was allowed to connect to my SMTP server. Shouldn't
tcpwrappers have blocked it?
