But you can also restrict access to hosts in the ipchains/iptables scripts. I use tcpwrappers also, but technically, I think it is correct, if you blocked access at the firewall level, the request would never be seen by the tcp wrapper daemon. ipchains and iptables happen at the kernel/networking layer. Isn't this correct?

For example, I have opened ssh via iptables but I restrict what hosts can connect via tcp wrappers.
