Not really dude... You can do that on a modern Linux kernel. They added the
per-file-capabilities patch from Serge Hallyn of IBM in a very recent kernel. If you think I'm
making this up:

All you have to do is use the userspace tools and give apache CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE. There is

Solaris had this feature first, but Linux also has it now.
