Now that's the kind of 'neat' I like!  I may have thought of that 
eventually but so rarely play with active process permissions/users that 
it would've taken me a long time, many thanks.

Of course, for added karma I'll replace 'nobody' with something that 
fetches the configured apache user from the config tree :)
