How to lock the screen when using a screensaver desktop BETTER!
Authored by: sweetsdream on Jul 09, '03 12:03:05PM

An easier way to do this is to open 'Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access' click the view menu then select "Show status in menu." Once you do this you will have a lock icon in you menu. You can then click on the lock and select lock screen.

This still suffers from the security vulnerability, though. What we really need is a patch from apple :/

I have not been able to reproduce this bug I my iBook running 10.2.6. Nothing happens other than the password being rejected. I think that bug may be an isolated problem or Apple fixed the problem on my version.
