Not sure I understand..

- The machine is locking on the display of a screensaver when a user is
logged in and idle for a given amount of time and/or they manually lock it
and walk away..

What the above means is that only that user or and administrative user on
that system can unlock the system - this is the way it was designed. If you
have found a way "around" this - I would be interested to know. This is the
way it has always worked..

Or am I misunderstanding your question?
