energy saver unlocked on restart

Question

energy saver unlocked on restart

Is there any reason that a restart always unlocks the energy saver system preference, when it had previously been locked? (This was also true under 10.5.)

mac mini (early 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.1)

I don't remember what the default was in leopard but you can
go to system preferences->security->general and check the box to require password to unlock all preference panes.

Some preferences are unlocked automatically to the admin user, but they remain locked to a non-admin user. V.K. has given you what needs to be done if you want to require all users including the admin user to provide a password.
