What do you BSD guys use for this purpose?

I too would worry about having something automatically updating filter
rulesets. An alternative is to blackhole route the offending source, eg:
route -nq add -host a.b.c.d 127.0.0.1 -blackhole
WHatever solution you adopt, the ability to whitelist is a very good
idea (especially if you are as inaccurate a typist as I am). And I'd
second what others have said about avoiding passwords altogether if
it's possible in your situation.
