Snow Leopard for some reason requires me to enter my password each time I wake my display. Is there some way to turn this off so I don't have to?

Obviously I still want password resume after system sleep or screensaver. It seems to be either all or none. I tried Google but didn't come up with any answers.

Go into System Prefs and select Security.. then you can modify the time interval.

I keep mine set to 5 min.

The problem is that when your display goes to sleep.. it considers that as when your screen saver activates. Not really sure why, since you can set these independently in the ScreenSaver and Energy Saver sections.
