Although if you want to be really paranoid have the cron script spin up another jail to do the validations in and run an IDS against the jail afterwards to make sure there were no tar/libmagic/whatever exploits in the uploaded file. After all, if you really don't trust it don't run it on the jailhost either. I am sure we get get this really complicated if the whole list piles on. [Read this whole thing as me being a smart-aleck, what you have done already is better than most sysadmins would bother with, I just couldn't resist.]
