Yeah, OBSD runs a chrooted apache by default. It can be overridden in 
some config file in /etc, I forget which. FWIW though, I thought it'd be 
much harder to set up than it was. I have perl cgi scripts and php 
running in the chrooted environment. Some things (like apache mod, I 
think) load before the chroot, so it's not so tough. worth trying anyway.

I'd be running OBSD on my SS20 if it supported muptiple procs. I 
understand it does not, so I have NetBSD installed and compiled a 
GENERIC.MP kernel. Love it.
