ftpd in daemon mode also obeys hosts.deny.  An easy test is to check if
programs are linked with libwrap, the tcp-wrappers library:

zigzag$ ldd /usr/libexec/ftpd
/usr/libexec/ftpd:
        ...
        -lwrap.2 => /usr/lib/libwrap.so.2.0 (0x40034000)
	...

zigzag$ ldd `which sshd`
/usr/sbin/sshd:
	...
        -lwrap.2 => /usr/lib/libwrap.so.2.0 (0x401d3000)
	...
