  That's my point.  It makes sense to run httpd as a daemon, so it should 
be in sbin.  As for tcpd, why on earth would you want exec yet another 
program before httpd, when httpd has access control?  If you absolutely 
wanted be rude and refuse TCP connections, use xinetd, at least you don't 
need the extra exec.
