oracle background process run as root (how to fix it)

Hi all,
I just installed oracle 9.2 on linux redhat 8.0. Everything goes well and I have already begin to use the database. However, I notice now all the background processes are running under the owner of "root". I remembered just after I finish install oracle all the processes still under the owner of "oracle" and whenever I create a tablespace the dbf file is owned by "oracle.oinstall" but now all the new dbf file is owned by "root.root"
oracle 788 0.0 0.2 13440 3068 ? S Aug05 0:00 tnslsnr LISTENER -inherit
root 3375 0.0 0.7 527396 7564 ? S 15:19 0:00 ora_pmon_ora716

root 3393 0.0 0.6 527212 6380 ? S 15:19 0:00 ora_d000_ora716

even I do
su - oracle -c dbstart
or
log in as oracle then sqlplus /nolog connect /as sysdba startup

all the process still remain as root

I am not sure whats bad about this but I wish to fix this.

Anybody have a solution to this ?

Thanks in advance !!!
