Geez. Just make everything a cgi, each cgi just dumps out a header
line and an otherwise static page. Then dump some log info to a file
that you do have access to. Illustrated in sh, though perl would give
you access to CGI.pm for better logging.

     #!/bin/sh

     echo "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
     cat the_page.html
     echo "some info" >> /home/darxus/pseudo-log

As an exercise, do log locking to avoid contention. (As a further
exercise, have each cgi open an ssh connection to a machine on which
you do have log access and port forward so it can use the remote
logd.)


The things some people whine about.
