   Hashed passwords are always ReallyGoodThing(tm). I have to read latest BinkP   
   specs and I'll see then...

   Yes, that's true. Usually you process incoming files immediately so the attack   
   vector is quite short lived. This is especially important for incoming mail,   
   as file names could be predictable. Rename would be a good thing, as long as   
   partially received files are deleted if connection is lost.   
      
   For the reference, my scripts/gotmail.bz is:   
      
   int main()   
   {   
           char flag_name;   
           int f;   
      
           flag_name = sprintf("%sgotmail.flg", bg_tempdir);   
           f = fopen(flag_name, "wb");   
           if (f !=- 1)   
                   fclose(f);   
   }   
      
   And I run following from my crontab:   
      
   #!/bin/sh   
      
   # incoming fido   
   if [ -f work/gotmail.flg ]; then   
       rm -f work/gotmail.flg   
       ./bbbs bogus w > /dev/null 2>&1   
       ./bbbs btick > /dev/null 2>&1   
       touch work/rescan.2   
   fi   
      
   # outgoing fido   
   if [ -f work/usermail.flg ]; then   
       rm -f work/usermail.flg   
       ./bbbs bogus a > /dev/null 2>&1   
       touch work/rescan.2   
   fi
