Assuming you're running 10.4:

Apple menu > System Preferences > Security > Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver.

System Preferences: Security: select Require Password to wake from sleep or screen saver.

(Yes, you'd think the option might be with the scren saver settings ... but it's not!)

BTW Mac Help tells you this.

In the Security Preferences panel, check "Require Password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver"

Here's a trick for you: click in the search box at the top right of the System Preferences window. Type "screen saver password" or even "password" and experience a little slice of cool.

Of course, you'd have to realise you needed to be in System Preferences in the first place. That'll come through experience (or Mac Help, or Usenet) I guess.
