Add a section to blacklistd to the PF chapter of the handbook

[bcr]

Summary

This patch adds a description on how to use blacklistd together with PF to the handbook.
The rendered output can be found starting at section 30.3.2.5.

I'm not really sure about the proper placement of this. It could go at the end of the chapter, it's own chapter or where it is now. Where it is currently, having too many sub-sub-subsections does not look good to me.

Test Plan

1. Apply the patch in the local doc directory
2. Build the handbook afterwards
3. Check the output of firewalls-pf.html

I'm not sure what you mean here.

SSH primarily uses TCP?

(And not just primarily. I don't think you can do SSH over UDP.)

Update diff to address Kristof's comments.

Given that it's possible to use blacklistd with ipfw as well (at least, I believe it is), it should probably get its own chapter, with pf and ipfw subchapters.

Sorry to keep you waiting for an update for so long.
I've refactored the blacklistd section into it's own chapter at the end of the firewalls chapter. There are no links from the PF chapter (or any other) to it yet.

Other than the typo this looks good to me.

Expire?

[bcr]

Good catch with the "expore", which should indeed be "expire". For some reason, igor did not catch that.
I think we can risk committing it to the handbook now and fix other things in a followup commit.
