Hi... I was wondering if anyone has a screen dimmer/blackout init that is also a screen lock, activated with a password. This is better explained in the following scenario. A user turns her/his Mac on in the morning (intending to work with it all day) and the Mac asks him/her a screen-lock password. Then every time the user goes away, the screen blackens out and locks. When the user comes back to the Mac, she/he can then use the Mac again after typing-in the password. I know that there is a DA screen-lock like this, but having to pull down a menu then typing a password gets boring when you have to do it often during the day. It would better to be able to place your mouse on the bottom left hand corner (say) and have the screen lock and blackout after 5 seconds (say). In terms of security, such an init is no better than a screen-lock DA. But it may be more convenient. Anybody have any comments/suggestions/ideas ? Thanks for reading.
