Web page user statistics

[Christopher Adams]

We use wwwstat, which is for Unix and will generate all the 
statistics you mention. You can use it in conjunction with Gwstat, 
which allows you to generate a graphical display of your wwwstat 
generated statistics. 

Another server statistics program for Unix is getstats, which does 
much the same as wwwstat, but is not quite as sophisticated. 

Both programs are free. Send me personal email if you want more info.
