figured it out. My problem was not where I was looking
in the hosts.allow but back one step in the /etc/xinetd.conf
out of the box it contained ..... 'only_from = localhost'
removing or commenting this worked. I focussed each service in
the hosts.allow to the IPs needed for each. I also had to go
through all my services and make sure each was compiled with
wrappers.
