What can I do to make my OS9.2 titanium laptop require a password to wake up from sleep (the kind that you get by selecting "Sleep" from Finder's "Special" menu)? I already have the AfterDark screen saver, and that has a password for waking up from inactivity, but when I put the system to sleep, I want it to require a password. Any ideas? Please cc: to mlevin77@comcast.net. Thanks!

As far as I can tell, turning on the screeensaver password also enables the 'password on wake' feature.
The only time I have not liked that is when I'm playing a game when I sleep. That is because the password dialogue won't come to the front, so it times out and puts the system back to sleep after ~ 30 seconds. So I save, quit, log in, restart ... No biggie.

System Preferences -> Security -> Check box that says "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver"
