What all do you want anonymized?  We already have tried to exclude  
all filenames and also all read-caps or write-caps from log files.

We thought this would provide enough confidentiality that people  
could post their log files without thus revealing their filenames nor  
giving the ability to read their files.

It looks like you also censored your IP address and the "storage  
indexes" or "verify caps" which identify a file without giving the  
ability to read the file.

Is there anything else that you would want to exclude?

Obviously it reduces the utility of a log file if the IP addresses  
are all hidden.  Maybe there is some hack we can do to obfuscate or  
encrypt the IP addresses and storage indexes.
