That's not actually true. I'm logged into an Admin account, and the
lock is closed till I click on it and enter my admin password.
On a further note, I've been playing more with bless and I have found
that you do indeed have to be root or use sudo to change the boot
device.
However, you don't have to be root to change it using the System
Preferences. So what's the difference here? What is System Prefs
doing that bless doesn't?

else?
The lock is 'open' for me (on the few panels I checked). I don't
know how to control that, though.
After a login, it's open if you logged in with an admin account and
closed if you used an non-admin account. Once you authenticated/
unlocked an non-admin account, the lock will stay open for the
remaining time of the current user session (which means several
weeks for me).
This is how it works here on 10.4.2, at least.
