RE: Audit trails to syslogs

According to the 8.1.7 Reference manual (the oldest I could find quickly) this feature has been around a while:

>>

AUDIT_TRAIL
Parameter type: String  

Syntax AUDIT_TRAIL = {NONE | FALSE | DB | TRUE | OS}  

Parameter class: Static  

Default value: NONE  

AUDIT_TRAIL enables or disables the automatic writing of rows to the audit trail.  

NONE or FALSE: Audit records are not written.

OS: enables system-wide auditing and causes audited records to be written to the operating system's audit trail.

DB or TRUE: enables system-wide auditing and causes audited records to be written to the database audit trail (the SYS.AUD$ table). <<

Then as now Oracle provides no means of reading the OS audit trail. You have to write your own program or acquire a third party product.

I don't think this is available until 10.2.

All,

I'm looking for pointers to log audit trails to syslog. I understand this has been a feature in 10.2 release but unfortunately i'm on 10g R1.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Stalin
