what's wrong with this hosts.deny?

I'm trying to block certain hackers, but for some reason
the following hosts.deny isn't working. Can someone explain
why?

Thanks.

ALL EXCEPT sshd httpd: ALL

httpd: 80.17. 209. 210. 211. 212. 213. 214. 215.
216.
217. 218. 60.36. 195.70.

sshd: 80.17. 209. 210. 211. 212. 213. 214. 215.
216.
217. 218. 60.36. 195.70.

Have you looked at the examples in
man 5 hosts_access

What's in your hosts.allow file?
Remember that hosts.allow rules override hosts.deny rules.

What web server are you using that it does tcpwrappers (for apache you
control that with allow or deny directives, or your firewall).

If sshd is running with ipv6 support it might not pay attention to ipv4
IPs. For example I had trouble allowing ssh from specific ipv4 ranges
that worked in the past, so I require keys only (passwords not allowed)
and just have a blanket ALL: UNKNOWN at end of hosts.deny (to at least
deny nameless/broken DNS IPs).
