On Jag, the computer sleeps quite often and I really want a password to be requested when the computer is awakened. Where do I do this? I've lookd in the Sys Prefs and I can't find it..Am I not looking hard enough?
 
Look in the system prefs under screensaver (or energy saver? I can't remember, they moved in Panther) and there should be an "ask for password" option when you return from the screen saver/sleep mode. Keep looking, it's there somewhere;)
 
For Jag, it's just for the screensaver. I had a hot corner set and always turned my screensaver on whenever I had to protect my computer. You can also put KeychainAccess in the menu bar and "Lock Screen" from there.
