Bear behavior varies greatly depending on people behavior in their area. The fewer people in an area who keep a clean camp, the more bears move toward camps rather than stay away. Where I am, bears still flee humans, but we are getting more and more people enjoying the outdoors without knowing how to keep a camp clean. I do much the same as Matt describes, but I don't use a canister, I use a bear bag. I've seen lots of black bear (nearly smacked into one trail running) and had zero problem with the bear bag.
I use: http://www.ursack.com. Depending on the laws of the minute in various places, a canister is required, and it looks like he offers that now with an aluminum liner (but I don't know if it qualifies as bear proof by law).
