Several things they could do, for one they could turn off logging when you
need it. They could also turn on logging, fille up the drive that the log
file is on, and stop your listener, they could shut down the listener so no
one could connect. ALl of these could be accidental or on purpose, but a
password makes it harder to do either way. Also, most Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance checklists require it.
It is a pain to deal with even so.
