Greetings,
I have used the following steps to track the users with failed login.
Step 1: Change the initialization parameter audit_trail to be:
audit_trail=db, bounce the database
Step 2: connect to the database as a user that has the privilege "AUDIT
SYSTEM"
(both SYS and SYSTEM has this privilege)
SQL> audit session whenever not successful;
Step 3: At this point we can see these unsuccessful logins by monitoring
the 'dba_audit_trail' view
Note :If we want to disable this tracking then we can use
SQL> noaudit session whenever not successful;
Note: This auditing does not get disabled by bouncing the database.
Thanks,
Ashoke

Mike,
Instead of coding this by hand, why not just leverage the provided
functionality?
SQL> show parameter audit_trail
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ -----------
------------------------------
audit_trail string TRUE
SQL> audit session whenever not successful;
Audit succeeded.
SQL> connect notauser/notmypass@mydb
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
after reconnecting with a prvileged account:
1 select username, userhost, returncode
2 from dba_audit_session
3 where timestamp>sysdate-1/24
4* and username='NOTAUSER'
SQL> /
USERNAME USERHOST RETURNCODE
--------------- ------------------------------ ----------
NOTAUSER MYDOMAIN\MYDESKTOP 1017
