Errant Processes created by Apache?

Errant Processes created by Apache?

I have Apache running on a Sloaris 9 box.

When I did a ps -ef, 28 processes attributed to Apache popped up. Is
this normal? A sample of my 'ps-ef' listing appears below:

nobody 793 4807 0 11:42:56 ? 0:00 /local/apache/bin/httpd
-k start
nobody 776 4807 0 11:42:48 ? 0:00 /local/apache/bin/httpd
-k start
nobody 750 4807 0 11:41:54 ? 0:00 /local/apache/bin/httpd
-k start
nobody 739 4807 0 11:41:27 ? 0:00 /local/apache/bin/httpd
-k start

That is most likely the pool of preforked (cloned) processes waiting for a
request
