Oi! You're spreading misinformation here. :-(

Removing hosts.allow doesn't disable TCP Wrappers. Rather, for wrapped
applications, it causes _all_ wrapped services to be denied.

He's quite right to leave his hosts.allow alone for this particular
problem -- it's got nothing to do with the hassle he's having.
