You could touch files for other students then.  (I'm not sure if that
would be a bad or not, it would depend if students can get negative
points for turning in non-functioning code.)

If you use the file ownership, not the name, to identify the student
then I don't see any chance for impersonation.

Actually, I was just thinking about this...

Couldn't a student handin their own homework and then create a huge number of random files to fill up all available directory entry slots, thus breaking the handin app for subsequent handin attempts? It would be obvious who this student was, but it could still be an annoyance.
