Setting up a "public" disk area

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
