I have a system utility that may be what you are looking for.

What do you mean by "lock the computer"?
What do you mean by "a locking screen saver"?

How many workstations do you have that need this capability?

Dear friends:

Is there a screen saver that only locks the computer,without doing
anything with the display?

I have found many beautiful and sophisticated screen savers that,
apart to lock the computer after a specific period of time, they show
pictures nice images on the screen. The problem is that some of them
take a lot of resources, specially memory, and others, from time to
time, lock (or crash) the desktop when one wants to use the computer
again.

So, I want to return to the most simple solution. For security
reasons, I must use a locking screen saver, but is there one that only
locks the computer, without doing anything with the display? And if it
exists, where can I download it?
