10.6: Unlock screens using any admin password
If you're doing something which doesn't actually require being logged in as the user, then fast user switching is probably the best answer. If I remember correctly, there is a way to auto logout users after a period of inactivity so that rebooting isn't an issue with still having someone logged in.

Auto log-out is pretty unreliable, because any modal dialog will prevent it from happening. Also I'm pretty sure you can't fast-user-switch when the screen is locked; you'd have to unlock the screen before you can access the FUS menu.

Fast-user-switching is available from the screen unlock dialogue, my kids use it all the time to log into their account when I have not logged out and the screen has been locked.
