Lock the keychain when the screensaver activates
Authored by: bq on Feb 09, '04 12:54:39PM

If you need to allow people to use your machine while you're away, you can always create a guest account (i.e. username guest, password guest) with restricted access and allow people to use user switching. This accommodates the need for others to use the machine without sacrificing or compromising security.

This is the best option. FUS is quick, and seems to be secure. (I do not know of any exploits.) It's also very simple to set up, and it works for all users on a machine.

Or better yet, user name Guest, no password. No need to confuse your guests.

However, the username guest is reserved by the system in panther, but If oyu had it in Jaguar it will carry over.
