Yeah, but absolutely no-one is doing that these days and in Apache's case it'd be a real dumb thing to do since it'll fork off X servers when it's started since it's a pre-forker (depends on the config files of course). Put it in the correct place for the config defaults, if the config defaults are stand alone it should be /usr/local/sbin, if they're to use inetd then /usr/local/libexec. -- Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd.
