	I need to run a Remote Desktop script that will allow me to a) enable the user's screen saver b) set it so that if the screen saver is enabled a password is required to unlock it. It seems that the com.apple.screensaver data is kept in a user specific plist file (com.apple.screensaver.000039b05.plist for example). Is there a way to write screensaver settings universally so that I can send a few unix commands via Remote Desktop to setup this policy? The thought of going around to 60 machines manually stinks and I dont like it. :-) Thanks for the help.
