No. Only programs launched through inet or xinet with tcpwrappers activated, or
programs who have tcpwrappers included use host.deny/allow.
But if you do not web access why in the world are you running the http daemon.
That is the only way they can obtain access.If you do not want a service , DO
NOT run the associated daemon.
