You don't have to restart anything. I don't know what reads the files
so but opening up "hosts.allow" I find -
#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
So it looks like the file is read by tcpd. Perhaps the tcpd man page
would shed some light on this subject.
