I have found a third place where Solaris fd bug seems to be biting us.
On the server with ~200 virtual hosts I had to split out the SSL hosts
into a separate instance of apache.  Looks like mod_ssl/OpenSSL triggers
this bug when trying to read certs.

Parsing /etc/passwd directly is not a very portable solution.
We have Solaris systems where /etc/passwd entries are in NIS+,
and other systems where we use a custom /etc/passwd module configured
in nsswitch.conf which uses mysql for /etc/passwd data.  

Hmm, I wonder if a work around might be to setup the nobody account/group
in NIS+.  That could bypass the fd problem.  Of course that might be
dependent upon the search order in nsswitch.conf for /etc/passwd lookups.
