Not necessarily:

inetd.conf:

1234 stream tcp nowait root env env - VAR=val /bin/env

testing...

# nc -nvvv 127.0.0.1 1234
127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1:1234) open
VAR=val
sent 0, rcvd 8

Replace /bin/env above with httpd and you are all set.

In this case, it will discard environment variables set by httpd's as well.
They are no different from those set by httpd's parent.

I tend to use standard tools (env, umask, setlimit...)
instead of coding it in every program anew.
