A Strange System Preference:how to enable the ""Require Password ..."

Hi All,

When we modify the "System Preferences", and in the "Security" preference pane, then click "Require Password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver" checkbox.

The file "~/Library/Preferences/byhost/screensaver.<currenthost>.plist "
changes its "askForPassword" key value.
But when write the key value by hand, the preference pane's checkbox doesn't change.

How to change the checkbox by writing value?

Thanks very much.
Joe.
