Tony,
 If I follow your explaination correctly you would like USER-A to be able to unlock Oracle userid's, change them, and or expire the USER-B password rather that have the DBA perform the function.
You could GRANT ALTER USER to USER-B: then USER-B can change the passwords for other users plus a host of other things;

We have an application that is using Oracle user-ids and passwords for
authentication and restrictions.  I am looking for a secured, selective,
user-interface way of unlocking, resetting and expiring passwords so the DBA
staff can offload this rather mundane but frequent requests.  I would like
to do it through an oracle stored procedure where the user-id and password
would be provided by a authorized user and the stored procedure would
unlock, change the password, and expire the user. 

Is this possible or is it much easier to use a Unix script?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!!!
