Every time that a user connects as internal to the database, the Oracle server creates a file in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/audit which records the event. To fix the problem, you need to remove the files that are contained in the audit directory.

The behavior is a requirement imposed by C2 evaluation so there is no way to turn it off.
