How do you lock down to friends only?

What's the best way to make an entire journal "friends only"? One of the things I am planning to do in the coming months is reduce my online public footprint. I've seen more than a couple of people have their online presence come back and bite them in the ass in some unexpected way or other, and it's time for me to start pulling my presence back

There's a program specifically for Livejournal that will lock down all of your posts in one fell swoop. If you google around for it, you might can find it.

If I happen upon it, I'll shoot you the link.

Beat me to it.

Yeah, all of my posts are friends only (at least) and I occasionally run the mass privacy tool to lock all but the latest ones down to me only.

Additionally, you can set a default friends-only for future entries at http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings --scroll down to "additional privacy options".
