Answer 1

Here's a start. I use it to get the network userid for the user running forms.
first, create a function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "your_schema_name"."OS_USER" return
varchar2 is begin
Return sys_context('USERENV','os_user');
End;
Then, in your trigger code or wherever,
Declare
network_userid varchar2(30);
begin
select os_user into network_userid from dual;
end
Consult the Oracle data dictionary views. There's probably something in there that will get you most of what you're after.
HTH,
