Q: And how can I disable this via Terminal?

I'd like to set the screensaver to the loginwindow. But I'm not sure. Is it save? Or are there some risks?
And how can I disable the screensaver at the loginwindow? (I haven't got workgroupmanager.)

Thanks for any answers

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

To turn it off, use:

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver loginWindowIdleTime
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver loginWindowModulePath
