No.
The apache user account usually won't have a shell associated with it which
effectively prevents logon to the system. Go ahead and try logging on with
this account - if you get a shell prompt, you have a problem that needs to be
fixed before you let the Internet have access to your server.
Not to mention the account is a 'service' account - it's sole purpose in life
is to control the Apache web service. You should NOT use a service account
for any other reason.
