Hi, I addressed the issues of log accessibility using a special non-privileged account (the way the `logcheck' package does) for the cron job and group-ownership of /var/lig/awstats (rwxr-s---).

I also changed the cron job command to allow the upstream-recommended way of configuring awstats (one file per virtual host) to work out of the box.

The details are in my message to the debian bug list for the same issue ( see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=396452#34 ).

IMHO this is a good way to go for solving the log accessibility problem without opening the logs to everyone. It will only need to standardise which the special non-privileged account will be (I suppose a new one).
