Ok thanks for you tip, tried both these version:

sudo -u apache ./mapserv -nh QUERY_STRING='map=osmwm.map&mode=map' >
/tmp/test20.png

sudo su -s /bin/sh apache -c "./mapserv -nh
'QUERY_STRING=map=osmwm.map&mode=map' > /tmp/test19.png"

and BOTH are working and generating png's (while looking into 'top' to
see if it was indeed the user 'apache' which was running the
mapserver-command: it was)

Still url below: is NOT:

http://46.21.168.170/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=osmwm.map&mode=map

Permission problem is the most obvious reason... What is special on
running a cgi trying to connect to postgis? It's not trying to write to
something is it?
As said, I compiled both mapserver and gdal myself, which files need
special permissions?

Tested with a shapefile layer, that one is working ok

Capabilities also:
http://46.21.168.170/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=osmwm.map&service=wms&request=getcapabilities
