Hi All,

I am facing a problem to find out the oracle user details if user is login to the unix machine with sudo access like "Sudo su - gaurav" and execute any query . My query is how can i find out the actual unix machine user who entering with sudo access because at the time of connection V$session view shows the username is 'gaurav' and osuser also 'gaurav' but the user entering in unix machine as a user 'rahul'.

Is it any query or technique to trace the user

Tahnsk,
Gaurav

Oracle does not know where you come from before the current "incarnation", this is a PURE OS information, you should ask you sysadmin to trace/audit the sudo.

In addition, if you allow someone to sudo to your account then you are responsible to what he does with your account (unless he is root/sysadmin which can do it without your agreement).

Regards
Michel

Hi Michel,

But after entering with "sudo su - gaurav" access the unix command "who am i" shows the username 'rahul' not 'gaurav' then why oracle pick the osuser name 'gaurav' thats my concern.

For username check my first post..

Tahnks,
Gaurav Srivastava

I doubt you get this or you have a problem in your OS.
What is it? Which version? Copy and paste your session.
