Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Actually, if my company is any indication it's not a matter of whether they think the DBA can be trusted it's a matter of being afraid of being sued if *everything* isn't monitored and audited. Our audit department's current target is the IS Unix Admin group. They're insisting that expensive 3rd party software be installed since Unix isn't a secure operating system (root can do anything).

That would be awfully darn distracting, and you could be sure your DBA would get NOTHING done :) Honestly, if there's a need to audit the dba, maybe he or she should be replaced? Just curious. Can you smell... what huge awful mess the DBA... is cooking?

I have many double copies, I think I'll post them on eBay eventually to get rid of them. : ) Patrice Boivin Systems Analyst (Oracle Certified DBA) -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Kostyszyn [SMTP:kevin@dulcian.com] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 6:30 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: RE: How do you audit a DBA?
