[users@httpd] How to determine if child processes are valid?

Hi,

It's november 4 now and in the following list you can see a whole bunch of

/usr/sbin/httpd

and

<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers       4
MinSpareServers    2
MaxSpareServers    5
MaxClients        50
MaxRequestsPerChild  100
</IfModule>

So i would expect 5 processes at most.

Do i have a problem or is this normal?
Thanks,

Jan
