Hello,

I'm thinking of blocking bad IPs using PF tables persisted to a file. I
would like to use a cron job to periodically analyze access logs and
update the PF table. I'd like some advice on how best to set it up:

  1. Keep the file in /etc/ (e.g., /etc/pf.badbots), set restrictive
     permissions (chmod 0600), and run the script under root's crontab.
  2. Keep the file in a dedicated cron job user's directory, allow that
     user to modify the file via the cron job, and use it in pf.conf.

I'm inclined to go with #1. Is that okay? Thanks in advance!
