Can't add anything for under Jaguar (waiting for the money to upgrade and
then buy that), but passwords are indeed available under 9.2.2 (and I
think, under 9.1 as well) using the Multiple Users control panel (because
I am running my Pismo with a password using Login on my Pismo - Login is
the sign-in screen you get when you set up Multiple Users to use
passwords, or even the dubiously useful voice verification).
