Apple seems to have changed this
Authored by: BrunoUsesBBEdit on Sep 19, '07 09:45:53AM

unfortunately, it seems that now the screensaver lock the keychain with no option to disable this behavior. My screen saver fires all the time while I am reading something, on the phone, on another machine in my cube, or using a hot corner when someone walks into my cube.

I have to enter my password no less than 25 times a day, and that's even if I never leave my cube.

Closed Source, Closed Minds, Missing Opportunities. It really is sad to have such power to make my Linux servers perfectly suited for their tasks, and then have my workstation limited by the imagination of Apple and the freedom they are willing to entrust me with.

I realize this is an old comment, but just in case anyone doesn't know it's wrong, you can control these settings.
  1. Open Keychain Access.app
  2. Make sure you have the 'login' keychain selected
  3. Go to the "Edit" menu and choose "Change settings for keychain 'login'…"

And there you can tell it to automatically lock after X number of minutes, or lock when sleeping.

These two screenshots show the menu items and settings I'm talking about:
