Alex has just told me that every user in 10G R2 has the default profile with a failed_login_attempts value of 10 except the DBSNMP user which has a new profile called MONITORING_PROFILE with a default value of UNLIMITED for failed_login_attempts. This means that DBSNMP is a bigger security risk as a brute force attack using actual connect attempts would not be blocked by this feature.
