What should i do fix them

I am seeing this too when i try and check out file descriptors for my own users process. From what I can tell, it is a cheap work around for a security hole in the /proc file system that allows you to open up files via /proc/$pid/fd bypassing the permissions. It seems they just made all file descriptors in proc owned by root.

I can do this fine on ubuntu, but not CentOS.
