	Okay, Apache here ...

	I've tried running httpd suid username httpd, but then it's not
allowed to bind port 80. How can I allow this to occur, are there any other
suggestions? The child processes sitting around run under httpd, I think I
told them to do that at compile time, but I want all of httpd to run as
httpd, or is this a waste of effort? :)
