The problem has nothing to do with Apache.  The user that the Apache 
process is running as does not have access to those files.  You need 
to either open up the permissions on /sbin to more users (probably 
not a good idea), or change who Apache runs as (not really a terribly 
good idea either), or make some custom commands that do what you 
want, but can only be run by Apache, and only with arguments that you 
have very carefully specified (rather difficult).  Or you could go 
with security-by-obscurity model and make private versions of the 
commands that can only be read and run by the Apache user.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
