The idea with rndc is that the client knows a secret, so it can
securely instruct the server.

The client must have read access to a relevant rndc.conf, as far
as I know thats the only requirement.

Apache never runs as root I hope. Even my copy runs as "nobody",
and it doesn't even listen on the Internet connected interface.
