In order to get a stats program working correctly (and automatically
archiving old stuff), I need to set a Linux folder so the sticky bits
for new files stick to 664 (or I guess 660) with group nobody... or
figure out a way to make apache save its logs with different
permissions and/or different ownership. I need the commands to do
this. Thanks...

I have CPanel and AWStats; the problem is using AWStats to archive the
log files when it's finished its run.

Does this work for you?

As root:
1. chmod 0664 <dir>
2. chgrp nobody <dir>
3. chmod g+s <dir>

Doesn't seem to stick. However, I sort of evaded it by setting up
webalizer instead of awstats. I don't know why, but that works without
permissions issues. Either that or a prior intervention (including
chmod 1664) worked.
