They don't do a great job of monitoring as all they record is the fact that someone logged in. But then the other auditing Oracle does (or did in earlier versions, I haven't investigated it in 9i) didn't capture much information either.

Since we used to automate, via cron, some of the startup/shutdown and DBA functions, and we created an account within the database for the oracle Unix account... the aud trace files never told us much of anything.

I don't want to know only that someone tried to get in, I want to now how he/she tried
