I have installed -002 on my test system along with Jay's fcrontab fix and 
from initial results seems to be working the same as Tim's original addon.

The 'Log Summary' now shows the IP Blocklist correctly and the blocklist 
update looks OK.

I'll run -002 on my test system for a few days and if it looks OK I'll run 
it on my production box where it will be exposed to the internet.

Thank you for all your work on this.
