# Sets up newly plugged in USB camera so that the user who owns
# the console according to pam_console can access it from user space
#
# Note that for this script to work, you'll need all of the following:
# a) a line in the file /etc/hotplug/usermap that corresponds to the
# camera you are using. You can get the correct lines for all cameras
# supported by gphoto2 by running "gphoto2 --print-usb-usermap".
# b) a setup using pam_console creates the respective lock files
# containing the name of the respective user. You can check for that
# by executing "echo `cat /var/{run,lock}/console.lock`" and
# verifying the appropriate user is mentioned somewhere there.
# c) a Linux kernel supporting hotplug and usbdevfs
# d) the hotplug package (http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/)
#
# In the usermap file, the first field "usb module" should be named
# "usbcam" like this script.
