screen saver preferences from command line ?

How to change a screen saver from the command line ?

I couldn't find something like com.apple.screensaver.plist in my Preferences folder. Where does the screen saver settings reside ?

PowerBook G4 15", Mac OS X (10.5.5), 1.5GHz/512MB/80GB

I figured it out.

The screen saver prefs are in Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.{MACAddress}.plist where MACAddress is the MAC Hardware address of your machine.

Thanks myself for solving it ... haha 🙂
