Subject: Oracle Server Process Owner in AIX

Hi
Recently I have observed that databases sessions by other non-oracle OS users 
started in the AIX Servers where the database is running becomes the owner of 
the server process.

For example if I logon to AIX box as user john and as john I execute sqlplus 
username/password (not using TNS) when I do ps -fu john | grep LOCAL I actually 
see john as the process owner. I have never observed this behaviour in other 
UNIX flavours (or I havent observed carefully but for sure Linux behaves other 
way), I have seen this behaviour in Oracle 9iR2, 10gR2, 11gR2 running in AIX 
5.3 and AIX 6.1. Is this expected?

I have observed this behaviour after investigating some ORA-04030 errors when 
some PL/SQL packages are run as non-oracle users in AIX.

Thanks!
