What you describe is the custom configuration for the old phpSuExec mode.

This problem does not exist if you run your PHP as SuPHP!

PHP overrides are restricted to PHP.INI file only and any custom PHP.INI
files are specified in the HTTPD.CONF and their locations and the files
themselves need not be user accessible.
