For a few of the servers I admin, I found the need for the ability to
add IP addresses to a pf table temporarily (for a few days, a couple
weeks, etc).

I grew tired of manually editing the files, so I wrote a scipt to
help me.

The script maintains a list of IP addresses for a pf table, along
with an "expiration date" for the address.  Each night cron runs the
expire portion of the script and the expired addresses are removed
from the table.

So far, it's been working well for my needs for well over a year.  I
decided to clean the script up a bit, put a BSD license on it, and
make it available for anyone else who may want to use it.

It's available here, along with a better description of what it does:
