Apache _not_ use special priviledges of nobody, it was inetd who suppose that nobody have particular limits. It seems inetd must be fixed somehow to stop using nobody limits. I am not sure, how to fix inetd at this time, maybe we need to handle nobody name specially (and use daemon limits in this case), or maybe just use daemon limits for _all_ entries in inetd.conf...
