Re: Those Pesky Little Audit Files (ora_99999.aud)

They are generated when you connect internal, connect as sysdba, or connect as sysoper. You can't turn them off.

In 9i, AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS=TRUE (default FALSE) will also create ".aud" files in the AUDIT_FILE_DEST, but obviously that can be turned off. In all versions of Oracle, AUDIT_TRAIL=[FALSE|OFF] only stops AUDIT commands from producing a trail, either to AUDIT_TRAIL=[TRUE|DB] (i.e. SYS.AUD$ table) or to AUDIT_TRAIL=OS (i.e. AUDIT_FILE_DEST)...
