Re: what is the purpose of audit?

Oh Obnoxious one, you continue to provide insight beyond measure. Auditing creates a record of selected activities that users perform. An audit administrator who analyzes the audit trail can use these records for the following purposes: To detect unusual or suspicious user actions and identify the specific users who performed those actions To detect unauthorized access attempts To assess potential security damage To provide evidence in investigations, if necessary To provide a passive deterrent against unwanted activities, as long as users know that their actions might be audited Complete instructions for using the auditing facility of Informix Dynamic Server and Extended Parallel Server can be found in the Trusted Facility Guide or online in the information center (http:// publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp).
