Quick MacOS Question...

Hey all,

Quick question that just hit me...

When I close my Macbook Pro, it goes to sleep and when I open it again it wakes up no problem.

Is there anyway, so that after a set time (Say 6 hours), if I have it closed for that time, when I open it again, it'll require me to enter my password to login?

So I want to be able to open and close at will, but I would like it to ask me for my password if I have it closed for a set period of time.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Marky

Sys Prefs > Security > Require password after X.

Max is 4 hours on SL.

You can also set it so that a password is required immediately on wake. Which is prob the best option.
