    What does your hosts.allow look like?  Typically, when you're 
blocking services, you define a daemon_list and client_list, separated 
by a :, so for example, if you just want to block an ip from all your 
services, it would look like this:

    ALL: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

    Notice the : - make sure you have that.
