going to close this as a DUPLICATE of:

Bug 1663556 - /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files contain extremely inaccurate information

Files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny will get removed with release of RHEL-8.1:

http://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/cgit/rpms/setup/commit/?h=rhel-8.1.0&id=fce4cb7ec5f444548c52655e94b32997cf1e768a


There is also kbase article pointing to the above BZ:

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3935901 [Does /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny have any use whatsoever in RHEL 8?]


will attach the customer case to Bug 1663556.
