This is incorrect: the supporting code was in upstream OpenSSH (provided
you compiled with -DLIBWRAP, or used the portable configure script)
until
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/sshd.c.diff?r1=1.420&r2=1.421,
and https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.7 logs the removal of the
feature.
