Hi,
I have a user called test,he has the dba privelages also.

Now suddenly,someone has changed the password for that user.

How can i detect
1) which user has changed the password(may be the person has logged in as the same user name)
2) When was the alter statement issued (with time)
3) From which system,terminal,client system does this request was issued.

How to tract that person as it is becomming a big problem everytime..

Some one is trying to play with the database and we want to catch that person

Any help in this is appreciated...

thanks
ksr

You could turn auditing on (the only way to log these actions) but if TEST has DBA they can delete the records from $AUD. I would suggest taking away DBA from TEST and turning auditing on. Change the password to TEST and make all users come to you for the password and have them sign something saying they will not change/give out the password or action will be taken up to termination. You are the only one that can take control. Also change the password to ALL DBA accounts and do not give the password out.

Could think of using Product_user_profile table also.
here uou can restrict the user to issue 'ALTER USER' command. Then make the user come to you.
