I agree, the code is very short, however, the modifications to PAM
config are not so trivial IMHO. In the GitHub repo I made some
changes to make it more configurable (separate config file for
device, resolution etc.). I am currently looking into the possibility of sending the picture via e-mail (Improves the usability you mentioned, at least for me), but I am stuck. AFAIK either you need a local SMTP server or use an open relay, which are usually blacklisted though. Ideas welcome... On Wed, 15 Jun 2016 17:14:23 +0200 "W.
