I saw Laurent Schneider's post today titled "FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS part 2" about the failed_login_attempts profile parameter in 10g R2 being defaulted to 10 for all users in this new release. He was also kind enough to email me about this post and my second post yesterday about the same subject. Alex sent me a screen dump of his 10g R2 database where the user DBSNMP did not have the default profile and had instead a profile called MONITORING_PROFILE with a default value of UNLIMITED. As you can see in Laurent's pots his example has DBSMP in the default profile with a default value of 10 for the failed_login_attempts. I don't know why there is a difference at this point other than to say it must be because of a difference in the database creation, maybe Alex used a seed database. It is still interesting though.
