Quick Tiger Keychain Question

Well I was going through MacWorld's how-to guide to hopefully make my computer a little more snoopproof and I was wondering if this might be a problem. It was talking about Keychain preferences and changing the settings for keychains so that it will lock during sleeping or if it will lock after a certain time of inactivity.

I was able to do that... but it suggested that keychain might be my name - instead it is "login" - I am the only user on my computer and I archived and installed, if that may help in your responses. Also, I have a few other keychains on there... one for FileVault, one for System, and one called "___Anchors" - not sure if that is a security risk to post what the name of the keychain is but I can PM you if you need it - but if you also have something like that, then I suppose it's normal. It seems to hold different kinds of Certificates.

    What do you mean snoop proof? Are you worried about another logged in user being able to see your keychain?
