This is not really true. You can use FastCGI to run PHP for each site as
a different user. For Apache there is also an MPM
(http://mpm-itk.sesse.net/) which lets you run apache processes (and
therefore also any embedded mod_php) under different uids. So while
running everything as nobody is the default, it is possible to use
different users, and I would strongly recommend doing this if you have
multiple customers.
