Right now, my login password is primarily protecting against attacks by
a cat that finds my screensaver attractive and steps on the keyboard.
It's a fairly short password that's no pain at all to type when I want
to unlock the screen.  Protection of sensitive data would require a much
stronger passphrase, and having to type that every time I wanted to
unlock the screen would be a nuisance.  Anybody know of a way to
configure the screensaver to accept something other than the (enhanced)
login password?
