This is available on some unix systems, although not all. (I believe
it's part of the Posix "standard" although I'm not sure) ACLs - access
control lists. It essentially extends the permissions concept to name
specific users/groups that have other than the base permission.
Depending upon which unix you're running this may be another option
available to you.
Of course, if you're making your logs readable by www in any way you're
taking a "risk" - since anyone could then write a simple CGI program to
read and display them... unless you don't allow anyone CGI exec ability
except a trustworthy few.
