Help with tcpd?

I installed the tcpd wrapper onto some alphas running DU 4.0b. I did the
custom install, where you modify the inetd.conf file, as follows:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ftpd
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd telnetd
                        :

and have a hosts.allow and hosts.deny that should cause things to log
to specific files:

hosts.allow:
        [bunch of address rules]
                :
: spawn ( DATE=`date`; /bin/echo $DATE %d %u %c >> /var/log/wrapper.allow.log)

hosts.deny:
        ALL : ALL: banners /usr/local/lib/banners: spawn ( /bin/echo %d %u %c >>
/var/log/wrapper.deny.log )

This form works on all our suns and BSDI systems, and even works on one
other alpha, but the logging just refuses to work on the new systems
we are installing. The rules seem to be taking effect, based on the fact
that I'm seeing references to the hosts.allow file in syslog.dated/mail.log
(?!?!).

Can anyone point me to things to look at to try to figure out why the
wrappers might not be working? Is there something essentially different
about DU that might explain it???

Many TIA!
