Information on how to use the motss anonymous access server is stored
in /usr/local/lib/anon/README

	To: everyone else

Providing anonymous access to net.motss is quite easy.  cron can run a
small shell script every hour that looks in a [publically unreadable]
spool directory.  Any files there are passed to inews and then
deleted.

In a public directory, we planted a setuid program that copies input to
a unique file in /usr/spool/motss.  There are a number of links to this
program with names like "a.out", "cat", "ls", "more" so that shell
accounting cannot be used to trace access.

The shell script referenced in crontab is something like:

set -e
cd /usr/spool/motss
for i in *
do
	/usr/bin/inews -t forwarded message -n net.motss < $i
	rm $i
done
