Actually, yes it will, but not written as "ssh".  It should read
"sshd" instead.

sshd is built with tcp wrappers support wether or not you run it
from inetd.  The line granting access in hosts.allow/hosts.deny
should read:

sshd: <whatever>

Again, this works with sshd ran standalone.  I'm using it this
way on 4 different machines and it works well.
