Jay,
Have you selected from sys.aud$ to see if the audit rows have been created?

What am I missing here? I have enabled auditing in the database, but it doesn't seem to work. This is an 8.1.7.3 database on Tru64. I set the initialization parameter and issued two AUDIT statements - AUDIT ALTER USER and AUDIT ALTER USER BY JMH123; I want to monitor activity that alters accounts.

Thank you,
Jay
