        I do not disagree with what you say, but I would
        like to suggest that the person check to see if
        those logs are actually world readable.  That
        slipped up on me.  I gave much thought as to
        how/whether I should divulge some information
        from the logs, and then happened to note that
        the logs were, by default, apparently, world
        readable!
