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
