10.5: Be aware of a multiple user screen lock issue
Authored by: lpbagley on Dec 26, '07 08:10:30AM

This is normal behavior and follows the "rules" for an admin account.

Since at least 10.3 I've used this very "feature" to install various updates for my kids computers. They are logged in on their admin account on a machine where I also have an admin account. I can then "authorize" installations by substituting my username & password. And yes, it's also always worked to wake the computer from a locked screensaver into their account -- whether or not you use fast user switch or have multiple people logged in.
