You might also want to look at suexec as well, which will run the user

Random Homer Quote......
----------------------------
Boy, when Marge first told me she was going to the Police Academy, I
thought it's be fun and exciting, like the movie `Spaceballs.' But
instead, it's been painful and disturbing, like the movie `Police
Academy.'
