Thanks for the comments, but changes to /etc/hosts.allow don't take
effect until the system is rebooted. And when the system is rebooted,
they definitely take effect.
Two entries that take effect if and only if the system is rebooted:
smbd : .krig.net : allow
afpd : .krig.net : allow
Commenting these out and saving the file has no effect. Rebooting the
system stops Windows and Mac file sharing. Uncommenting them and saving
the file has no effect. Rebooting the system restores Windows and Mac
file sharing.
