What stupid mistake am I making with this onlogin trigger?

After going back an forth on this for a while today I figured a few more
sets of eyes couldn't hurt.

I need to track connections from a specific module (not SQL*Plus but
that was easiest for testing purposes).  This trigger compiles but does
not create any rows.  The insert statement works if run from a sql*plus
prompt.  I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious here...

Does the onlogin trigger possibly execute as the user logging in as
opposed to as sys?

Trigger created:
SQL> create or replace trigger sys.trace_php_onlogin after  logon on
database
  2  begin
  3
  4    insert into wsidba.php_logins
  5    select sid,username,module
  6    from sys.v_$session
  7    where sid = (select unique(sid) from v$mystat)
  8    and upper(module) like '%SQL%';
  9    commit;
 10
 11  end;
 12  /

Trigger created.


Doesn't enter any data to table:
usnjc01urp001:/services/home/oracle<lass> $ sqlplus wsidba

Works from SQL*Plus:
