RE: Locking the SYS account.

If one does the RTFM thing one will find that SYS is immune to any and all restrictions by default. Therefore things like restricting idle time via a profile don't work, nor does locking the account or expiring the password. Granted it's buried & not easy to find, but it's been that way for a very LONG time.

Kicking your client out of the business perhaps?
