Bug#827281: ITP: login-webcam -- Take picture using a webcam on failed login attempts
It looks like the code of the package is very, hm, short:
time=$(date -I"seconds")
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -i /dev/video0 -frames 1
"/var/log/login-webcam/$time.jpg" 2> /dev/null
plus 3 or 4 lines of PAM config, plus 674 lines of GPL3 :~)
I wonder, whether the package is really justified.
Also, why does anybody want to have photos of their irritated face
when mistyping their password? Assuming that anybody with malicious
intent will put their thumb in front of the lense anyway. Sneaky
people who got hold of ones password and log in successfully are
not recorded, right?
