httpd run as root

In spite of the fact that I have apache set to chown to wwwrun, ps -aux still reports an httpd as owned by root. Actually, there are two httpd running and one is owned by root and the other is owned by httpd. In httpd.conf I have StartServers = 1. Why are there two deamons running? Am I overreacting due to extreme newbieness? I'm running SuSE 6.3
