Sorry, but keep proposing ideas on more things. It's appreciated.
Currently one can change everything for smscon also editing the config file smscon_config manually anyway without any clear text or hashed password. So, if smscon (daemon) password would be in clear text in the smscon_config, it wouldn't make things worse but actually as said, simplify and make smscon-daemon SMS-command recognition more efficient.

Also if "the new user" sees SMS-messages, knowledgeable user can delete whole smscon whether threre was a real smscon-daemon password or sms-command-prefix, or whatever smscon-editor's password would be, in crypted or in clear text, does not matter. smscon-editor's password only protects against novice new users who do not know what smscon is.

In smscon-editor, "prefix" could be changed to "smscon daemon password".
