I know very little about the package that creates a ~stats directory for
webalizer reports.  If you need to know where to make changes to it I can't
help.  Personally, I put mine in a /stats/ directory and I use a shell
script called from cron to generate the reports, set the ownership of the
directory to root:root, set the permissions, etc.  It prevents anyone
associated with the site from touching the webalizer files.  I haven't used
FP in a long time, but I suspect that solves the FP problems mentioned
on-list over the years.  On other boxes I've setups stats to run off a
separate site (stats.domain.tld) with directories for each virtual site.

HTH,
