AUDIT_FILE_DEST is a 9i parameter, isn't it?
No, it's available in 8i.
8i reports it as an "unknown parameter". Is there a workaround??
You should specify the OS you are using. I assume you are using NT/2000, as AUDIT_FILE_DEST is realy not supported on that platform. In NT/2000 OS audit trail is allways written to the system's EventLog, you can't redirect it to another file.
