For good reason I think. Being able to lock the SYS account would be a very bad thing.

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?
