Hello,
Search the archives, /iirc/ there was a consensus that pam_console is
a hack with bad security and that debian should not use it.
Do you see any major difference between accessing the camera or the
local soundcard? We accept that all users in group sound can access
the soundcard, no matter whether they are login locally, can't you
setup a new group and give the cam to this group?
