installs of 7.0 and above runs Apache as the apache user. I know that
previous distros of Redhat uses nobody.nobody. Certainly, other Unix
platforms defaults to nobody.nobody.

That's the traditional design of UNIX platforms, yes. You can probably
dig up the esoteria somewhere from the original designers on why. It
has slipped my mind.
