4.06 init.ora - 'audit_trail parameter set to OS, DB, DB_EXTENDED, XML, or XML, EXTENDED'

Information

Ensures that basic audit features are used. Recommend setting audit_trail to OS as it reduces the likelihood of a Denial of Service attack
and it is easier to secure the audit trail. OS is required if the auditor is distinct from the DBA. Any auditing information stored in the
database is viewable and modifiable by the DBA if set to DB or DB_EXTENDED.
Level 1, Scorable
