We configured our 7.0.1 server (Windows server Oracle instance) to validate 
passwords against Active Directory over the weekend.  Monday morning was a 
little rough with locking out network accounts.  We also had a configuration 
issue where were not able to check one of the OU's.  We changed the 
configuration but we still had a few users where we are having login issues.

While looking at the user log file I noticed a changed with what is written out 
to the log for a login failure.  What I'm seeing is that sometimes (password) 
is at the end of the line and sometimes (user) is at the end of the line. For 
certain users it's consistently one or the other.  In some cases it changes 
from one to another.  In one case it's about 2 minutes between the change.  In 
another it's 4 seconds.

<USER: xxxxxxxx > /* Mon Jul 13 2009 09:38:22.0820 */         LOGIN FAILED   
xxxxxxxx   (user)
<USER: xxxxxxxx > /* Mon Jul 13 2009 09:40:50.7970 */         LOGIN FAILED   
xxxxxxxx   (password)

<USER: yyyyyyyy > /* Mon Jul 13 2009 15:12:12.9630 */         LOGIN FAILED   
yyyyyyyy   (user)
<USER: yyyyyyyy > /* Mon Jul 13 2009 15:12:16.9450 */         LOGIN FAILED   
yyyyyyyy   (password)

Any one have an understanding of what the logs are trying to tell me?

Thanks,
Dave
