Hi, is there any way to set up an encrypted disk to re-ask for a password when waking from sleep? It appears that once it is mounted it does not require a password until it is ejected.
Thanks, Scott

Explore the Security preference pane.

That lets you require a password to wake the computer itself up, but if you put the computer to sleep with an encrypted partition mounted up, once the computer is awakened, whether waking up required the user-password or not, the encrypted partition will still be mounted.
In answer to the OP, as far as I know (and I use an encrypted disk image constantly) there is no way to require that password.

maybe you could use "SleepWatcher - 2.0.4" (VersionTracker) to dismount the image when the computer goes to sleep.
