Hi! Try man tcpd or man hosts_access. Sshd will use /etc/hosts_* files only if tcpwrapper support is included when compiling. In that case hosts_allow line is something like sshd : all (or sshd2 : all, try both). Normally sshd holds it's own access control in sshd_config file somewhere under /etc. btw: make sure you use the latest version of ssh, earlier versions at least 1.2.31 have severe security problem.
