Password protected screensaver

We have a NetWare 5 server at work and most of the clients are Win95/98. Sometimes, a user enables a screensaver with his/her password (could be different from the NetWare login password). The problem is, if someone else is using this PC and if the password protected screensaver is turned on, then this user won't be able to disable the screensaver (reset is the only option I can think of) as the password belongs to another user. I like to know if it is possible to somehow link the screensaver password to the NetWare login password? Or any suggestions to solve this problem.

you can use zenworks and create a user profile that wont allow the users to change certain settings.  

what i would do, i would draw out a company policy that would restrict users from putting a password into certain areas of their workstations without telling the admin what it is.  let those in charge know about it and if they don't like it then it must now be that big of a problem for them.  this may sound harsh, but it is quite effective in most places.
