Comments from the routine hosts_access(), the main tcp_wrappers routine:
* If the (daemon, client) pair is matched by an entry in the file
* /etc/hosts.allow, access is granted. Otherwise, if the (daemon,
* client) pair is matched by an entry in the file /etc/hosts.deny,
* access is denied. Otherwise, access is granted. A non-existent
* access-control file is treated as an empty file.
So, if the admin doesn't have the tcp_wrappers config files on the
machine, tcp_wrappers is effectively turned off. Voila.
