Is there shareware/freeware to 'Lock The Screen' in MacOS X

[cockneygeezer]

Dear All,

I use MacOS X in a working environment and I was wondering if there is any shareware or freeware that can 'Lock The Screen', instead of Logging Out or leave the machine unattended.

Thanks for your time.

In system preferences, go to Screensaver. Under the Activation tab, you can set it to ask for your user account password. Then, under Hot Corners, you can add a trigger to a corner of your screen so that when you drag the mouse into that corner the screensaver will start.
This is the easiest way to secure your workstation for a quick break.
