Be careful about this. Now everything running as www-data (webserver,
maybe cgis) can read /etc/shadow.

Even if noone can execute CGIs with the webserver uid or use dynamic
content (SSI), it is still possible that a CGI has a security hole. So 
it is best to minimize the access www-data has.

So you better look for another solution. Sorry, I can't help you more, 
but I don't run apache.

Ciao,
