Hi Bunyamin,

All I can is that by following these exact steps I get it working!

SQL> select username,action_name,returncode from dba_audit_trail;

USERNAME                       ACTION_NAME                 RETURNCODE 
LOGOFF_TI
------------------------------ --------------------------- ---------- 


....
SYSTEM                         LOGON                                0
SCOTT                          LOGON                             1017
JIM                            LOGON                             1017
16 rows selected

In another window attempt to login a

Bunyamin/dba

SYSTEM                         LOGOFF                               0
SCOTT                          LOGOFF                               0
SYSTEM                         LOGOFF                               0
SYSTEM                         LOGON                                0
SCOTT                          LOGON                             1017
JIM                            LOGON                             1017
BUNYAMIN                       LOGON                             1017
17 rows selected

As far as I can tell this is working. The retuncode of 1017 indicates unsuccessfull logins.
