| Dec 19, 2012 at 15:11 | comment | added | user36938 | I have tested this on 10.7.5 on OS X Server and it does not work. The screensaver still requires a password and the preference is not unchecked. | |

| May 16, 2012 at 14:10 | comment | added | E1Suave | @DanielLawson I have edited my answer to reflect the testing of 10.5.x 10.6.x 10.7.3. The command functioned for each OS. Thanks again. | |

| May 16, 2012 at 13:58 | comment | added | Daniel♦ | I have working machines running 10.7, 10.5, and 10.3, but am away from all of them at the moment. I'd love to take a look at it in that context, but can't until tonight or tomorrow. | |
| May 16, 2012 at 12:43 | comment | added | E1Suave | @DanielLawson Thanks, are you currently working on 10.7? I generally like to post what OS's I have tested my commands on and unfortunately this morning I am stuck with an old Snow Leopard machine and won't have access to a 10.7 machine until later today. I would hate for it to function on 10.6.x and fail on 10.7 :–( However, I am fairly certain this will function as the plists are very similar. I know 10.5's screensaver.plist is different and some tweaking would be needed. Anyhow, thanks again. :–) | |
