Its not an assumption, it's a good business practice. It also avoids
lawsuits should someone do something malicious.

why is it that everytime someone leaves a job it is ASSUMED that he/she
will try to get back in and do something 'malicious'?

If I were to leave my current job, I'd want nothing to do with what I
was doing here.


Do you think that he is prone to do something?

Change your oracle user password, system, sys root on the UNIX box and
remove/disable any id created for him. That is about the best you can
do.
Depending on your application, you may be able to change the schema
owner
password...

Do you not have a firewall? IF so, then he obviosuly had a VPN access
method...make sure that is disabled
