"All oracle passwords are encrypted" is not a true statement. Failed login
attempts, are retried by sending the password in an unencrypted format.
Atleast, until 8.1.7. To avoid which, ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN variable and
DBLINK_ENCRYPT_LOGIN parameter (for retried attempts across database link)
should be set to TRUE.
I could stand corrected though.
