ps shows my httpd processes as
apache 29561 15186 0 15:30 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd I'm running Centos 5.3
All the log files in /var/log/httpd are owned by root.
How come?

The httpd children run as apache, but the process that spawns them runs as root (as is necessary to bind a privileged port eg. port 80). Look closely and you'll see an httpd running as root.
