 Ray,
    The latest version of the Moire screen saver (3.22) from John Lim
    includes the ability to lock your screen with a password.  When
    the screen saver is active, type Option-L.  You get a beep, then
    type your password and hit RETURN.  A beep is heard again; re-enter
    the password for verification. Two beeps are heard.  Your screen is
    now locked.

    Until you type the password again, keyboard input
    beeps, and the screen saver stays on.

    Moire is $10 shareware.
