What I call the ugly hack is to have camera access only for the person
at the console. What if someone is logged into X at vc8 and someone else
temporarily switches to vc1 to read out camera data? What if I have a PC
with the camera connected to it and am working on the diskless xterminal
that is standing next to it? What if I'm working remotely and I call
home to ask my roommate to plug in the camera? etc, etc.

My point is that is not not always logical that the user behind the
console is actually using the camera.

Why is is not ideal?
