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!

Best Regards,
Kim Okasawa
