 To
 track users who tried and logged into the database : 
 SQL
 > audit session;
 
 I
 don't know in which section you can find that in the Administrator Guide.

      Joe, 
      We referred the auditing option. My understanding is that 
      you can track the oracle users using database auditing feature once the 
      users are logged into the database. 
      But my requirement is to track the users who tried to 
      login to the database but could not login due to wrong password. 
      
      For example, somebody may know the connect string for an 
      oracle database and trying to login to the database as system user and 
      with various combination of password. We like to know who are these 
      users.
      Thanks, Ashoke
