passwords?
Do you, by chance, have a password on your screensaver or not?
passwords?
I haven't been having this problem at all. I am using xBack for my screensaver desktop.
passwords? YES
Now that you mention it, I do. I'll log on as my son (no password) and set up DeskSaver and give it another try. I looked at the console.log file and only found this line:
Feb 6 05:17:31 iMac /sbin/autodiskmount[198]: disk2s1s2 hfs no
no TurboTax Deluxe Mac 2002 [not mounted]
I'm unfamiliar with autodiskmount (not quite a year old in UNIX terms), so I have no idea what the two "no"s are about, but I'll bet they are significant. I'll compare the log without DeskSaver running on my account, as well as with it running on my son's account.

I just did a highly scientific experiment:

I agree, this is certainly a security feature. With a password protected screensaver you really would not want people to be able to insert and eject removable media. As somebody mentioned earlier, automounting could be used to kill the password protected screen saver. Similarly, without this feature, somebody could come up to your password protected computer, press the F12 key to eject your cd, then walk away with your precious data. This security feature isn't necessary when running a screen saver in background mode, but for now it appears that we have to choose between a password protected screen saver and pretty desktop effects. |
