          Joe,
          We referred the auditing option. My understanding is 
          that you can track the oracle users using database auditing feature 
          once the users are logged into the database. 
          But my requirement is to track the users who tried to 
          login to the database but could not login due to wrong 
          password.
          For example, somebody may know the connect string for 
          an oracle database and trying to login to the database as system user 
          and with various combination of password. We like to know who are 
          these users.
          Thanks,Ashoke
