Re:URGENT Help on tracking unauthorized login to Oracle Data

Ashoke,

    In your circumstances, I'll retract a previous statement on the usefulness of the listener.log file. This one case where you may be able to extract the information you desire, to include the computer from which they were attempting to login, and the date/time. The only problem is that you have to go searching through a flat file.
