It's a feature
Authored by: VEGx on Feb 06, '03 01:27:52PM
It's obviously a security feature. It's not too dificult to write a CD that has a "startup" script. If you have protected your computer with a screen saver... obviously, you don't want other people be able to access your computer.

kill -9 `ps -axcopid,command|awk '{if($2 ~ /ScreenSaverEn/) print $1}'`
That's all you need to kill the screen saver, password protected or not.
