I'm pretty sure it's _possible_ to get most of that information, if
not all of it. It's just not easy, unless someone has already written
software (or at least some sophisticated scripts) to do so.
Doing so yourself will require at least a fairly mid-level competance
with BSD Unix. Hiring someone to write it is also an option (once
again, assuming nobody else has yet written decent software to do it).
