Two pf questions

[krad]

I didnt think you could get duplicate addresses in pf tables, so please
clarify if you are or not. (i suspect not)
The problem probably is that you are appending to you file not overwriting
it. So drop the double >
ie

pfctl -t bruteforce -T show | sort -u > /etc/pf/bruteforce

This will obviously loose the old contents of the file which you might not
want, however you could just make sure you loaded the contents of the file
into the table before you dump it
