Thanx for the idea Daniel, I know everything about these password
profiles, but I'm stuck with a bloody application (Siebel) which is
about 3 Oracle versions back in terms of integration with the
database. Therefore, the message from Oracle to the users to change
their password never reaches the poor Siebel users. Are all the
commercial packages that bad, or I'm just unlucky? For example, Siebel
still accepts only rule-based costing, has never heard of MV's or
partitions, knows about 1 type of index (the B-tree), Siebel "experts"
stop us from disabling indexes with ONE distinct value (that is
created at Siebel installation time) without consulting them, and
thinks that a freelists value of 1 is OK for a heavily-accessed table!
