You could do something simple like this for auditing failed logins...
AUDIT CONNECT WHENEVER NOT SUCCESSFUL;
Then you could come back and have a look at the failures by doing a select
against dba_audit_trail where returncode=1017. This has been very valuable
when asked why accounts are being locked out.

May not apply to your situation but if you recently upgraded from 9i, the
default profile has changed from allowing unlimited login failures to locking
the account after 20 failures. I have hit this issue in the past when, for
instance, an old script had an old password it in and cron had been happily
scheduling it day after day; hour after hour. It actually turned out to be a
great way to find stuff like that in an inherited environment. But we
scratched our heads for awhile trying to figure out "who" was locking the
account once/day. :)

Thanks for the info. It looks like this works if the account is still locked.
Unfortunately, the account was already unlocked and now they are trying to find
out when/who locked it. Is there a table/column that would tell when/who
locked it or do you have to find a table/column that lists unsuccessful
attempts multiple times, or what? Seems to be a lot of different audit
tables. Not sure what the best way is to find out when it was last locked and
who did it once the account has been unlocked.

Dba_users.lock_date will tell you; this maps back to column ltime in sys.user$.

Is it possible to tell what day/time a particular account is locked? The
database is 10.2.0.4
