Hi guys.

Running 10.5.1 on iMac c2d, getting logged out rather than machine going into sleep or screensaver mode.

This tends to happen when I leave the machine for 10 minutes or so and come back to find the login screen.

Anyone else seen this?

Thanks, Jason.
 
Assuming that you are running Leopard go into System Preferences and choose "Security" and uncheck the button that says "require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver". Also uncheck the "logout after xx minutes of inactivity" if it is checked.
Just realized it's the same in Tiger.
 
Of course!

Never noticed the logout after inactivity box before!

Thanks!
