  I have not had a chance to play with it much, but I did notice that
/etc/authorizations did have a lot more sections, including one for
screensaver.  This SHOULD be what you're looking for.  If I get a chance
to play with it and get it working, I'll let you know.
  I stopped in looking at it cause I had a lot to do, and I couldn't get
openafs to work under panther.  The module wouldn't load do to missing
symbols. *sigh*
