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).
