I don't get it
Why not just use Apple's Keychain menu extra to do this?
I don't get it
The keychain menu bar item requires a person to turn on the lock. If a computer goes to sleep before the screen saver kicks in, when you wake it up it won't ask for a password. This method automatically locks the computer when the sleep mode is activated.

If a computer goes to sleep before the screen saver kicks in, when you wake it up it won't ask for a password.So the solution is to use the Screen Effects preference pane. In the Activation tab there is a preference for "Password to use when waking the screen effect" -- this will take care of the computer sleeping itself if you have not locked your own screen. Just be sure to set your screen effect to activate before the computer sleep time. If you want to manually lock, you can still use the Keychain menu extra.

That will be fine if you want your computer to sleep at some point after you activate the screen saver but the point of this hint is to enable you to activate the password protected screen saver then go directly to sleep WITHOUT DELAY. |
