Help! (OS X )

My mac is no longer asking for a password when resuming from screensaver. Though I have the box for "ask for password on resume" checked, it just randomly stopped working!

I didn't notice this problem before, but could it be caused by the 10.4.7 update?

2. Fixed it.

Sorry I didn't update this sooner, I was out for the 4th. Anyway, the update corrupted com.apple.security.plist- apparently this has happened to more people than me. By moving the file to my desktop (just in case) and restarting, the problem was fixed.
