Today Amazon brought to my attention that there is a new Oracle security book:
 
"HOWTO Secure and Audit Oracle 10g and 11g" by Ron Ben-Natan (http://www.amazon.com/HOWTO-Secure-Audit-Oracle-10g/dp/1420084127/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234530366&sr=8-1).

That's a good book of the concentrated place of relevant knowledge. Simply reading the Oracle manuals is sometime misleading.
However, this book and others are missing a few small topics that are asked every time an issue of auditing pops up:
- performance impact differences between DB and OS audit trails (assuming the rest of the audit set-up is the same);
- methods of seamless audit extract without loosing the audit data (sys.aud$ is a particular issue, but OS-level audit files are vulnerable too - Oracle does not mark them "complete", and it's a set of system related tricks to do to decide if the file is done. All those tricks rely on UNIX admin decision to have them ON. Instead, Oracle would do a favour to simply rename the "ready" files, etc.
