Hello OSF Managers --
We have an Alpha 3300 running OSFv2.  We're going to move our 
e-mail/Internet accounts over to this system; we installed a 2 gig drive 
that will be our /usr/users. Each user will get 1 meg of disk space on 
this drive to call their own.
We have another chunk of drive available on /usr.  What we would like to 
do is make this a "public" disk area; when professor X wants to receive 
a 4 megabyte file he does a cd over to a public area on /usr, receives 
the file, downloads it to his local machine, then removes it from the 
public area.
Has anyone done anything like this?  If so what are the pros & cons?
df on this alpha shows the following:
Filesystem    512-blocks    Used       Avail  Capacity    Mounted on
/dev/rz3a       126462     71054       42760       62%    /
/dev/rz3g      1603526    680738      762434       47%    /usr    
/dev/rz2c      3982650      1228     3583156       0%     /usr/users       
I want to use /usr for the public area -- would I just set up a directory 
in /usr?
Please direct your responses to me rather than the list.
Thank You
