That is not the normal state of things.  They should be owned by the 
dirsrv user and group.  Since the dirsrv user is responsible for writing 
to these files, creating the directories etc, I would not think you 
would have a usable install if this is not set up correctly.  id you do 
ps -ef | grep dirsrv, what user is running those processes?
