I only made the switch from Windows a year ago, so forgive me for being a bit thick. I'd like to set up my computer to automatically require a log-in if I walk away from it for while. I know how to do this on windows, but I'm stumped on OSX. I know this is possible, because I used to work in Apple in Cork (my introduction to the wonderful world of macology) and our workstations were set up to do so. I imagine it must be fairly simple, no? |

If you go to edit, and change settings for keychain 'login', I think you can set it up there. |

About half way down is something like 'Require password to wake from sleep or screensaver' - put a check next to it. This will require either putting your sytem to sleep or better, have a hot corner that auto starts your screensaver I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. |
