I asked:

The answer:

Read the hosts_options man page.  It explains how the syntax of the
/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files has been expanded to include,
amongst other things, where logging should go.

As an aside, that man page is in /usr/sfw/man,  so be sure /usr/sfw/man
is in your MANPATH.
