Not by default, but that doesn't mean much.
Try this:
$ su
password
# /etc/init.d/apache start
As it happens, that's the method suse starts up apache or apache2 - and
it doesn't run as root, but as wwwrun, except for the parent process.
That's just one of many ways to start apache as root. If the person
setting up a website was reading a book written by someone
who is relatively clueless, then you have a situation which
can best be described as "The blind leading the naked."
So, I guess suse is clueless... :-p
Ah...Suse's script dies an su. Good!
But it's not necessarily so for all systems.
Especially if someone got an old book on setting
up websites and was advised to write his own
start-up script.
