Subject:   sendmail-8.10 ignores /etc/hosts.allow

Sample /etc/hosts.allow in FreeBSD 3.4 implies that
it can control access to sendmail. 
But sendmail-8.10 ignores this file completely, even
if compiled with tcp_wrappers support as follows:

sh Build -c -DTCPWRAPPERS

with ../devtools/Site/site.config.m4  containing:

APPENDDEF(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/include')
                           
APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/usr/lib')
                           
APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lwrap')
                           


Is it necessary to run sendmail via inetd to get
tcp wrapping according to /etc/hosts.allow? 
But it seems that to wrap sendmail, inetd does not 
need sendmail to be compiled with tcp_wrappers support?

What tcp_wrappers support in sendmail means then?
