Give Customer Access to Visitor Stats

My host uses cPanel which has Webalizer. I want to give my customers access but of course don't want to give the host account username and password.

I hear there are scripts I can run for stats but I'm a noob.

What is the simplest way to give my customers access to the stats?

Thanks!

Me: How do I allow someone to view web stats for a site without giving them access to everything else?

Liquidweb: There is no official way to do this. However, you could create a symlink to the stats in a webdirectory. I believe this will only work with webalizer though.
So, if you created a directory called mystats in your public_html directory, and then symlinked the directory tmp/webalizer, I believe that would work. Then, when the person went to yourdomainname.com/mystats, they would see the webalizer stats.

Me: How do I create a symlink?

Liquidweb: Hello, to create a symlink, you would use the ln command.
Example:
ln -s destinationFile sourceFile
