It certainly breaks the FHS, as well as being a potential security
issue under some circumstances . But webalizer certainly supports
running from pretty much any random conf file with the -c flag.
In addition, the webalizer cron script supports running *multiple*
instances of webalizer by processing each of the *.conf files in
WEBALIZER_CONFDIR (by default, /etc/webalizer). You could try moving the
weirdly-placed webalizer.conf file there as, for example,
"the_other_admin_was_a_goober.conf" and let the nightly cron job run it.
