Killing oracle processes

I would like to understand why oracle 7 creates the user database connection processes with uid=oracle7, ignoring the uid of the original user who opened the connection.

In this situation my users can't kill their own processes. Another important thing is all connections (local and remote) are made through sqlnet v2.

This is my environment:
- RDBMS 7.3.2.3.0

• HPUX 10.01 and SCO Open Server 5.0
• Report1, Forms3 and Menu5 in other ORACLE_HOME

thank you in advance
