Dear all, I want to set up a crob job to run a script (Perl or shell). The script will be read/write/exec by root only (i.e. 700 or -rwx------). It will run /sbin/ipfw periodically to change rules according to need. Can anyone think of any potential security risks to such practice? Any suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
