hmmmm doesn't anlgform.cgi run as the user who has analogform.html calls the cgi? then 
the cgi
sends arguments to analog, which runs as the ApacheUserId, to extrapolate the logs. Is 
this
correct?

I just erased a bunch of stuff that should be talked about on another forum. But it 
was a good
thought process that lead me to what I really want. I may have asked this before but 
here goes.



I read somewhere that about 25% of ISPs use analog. (Is this correct or am I 
confused?) I
expect that these other ISPs have a need to simple say go to this URL and presto you 
can
receive stats on your website and you'll never have to ask me about it again.

Is that right or am i the only person who has installed analog that wants to do this?

I doubt it!


So, how can I get in touch with someone who has already done this?????
