I guess it's not capable of encrypting the config file yet? I tried clicking on the "Change Password" button but nothing happened.

All I got is a black picture =/ Is it a bug or not?
And will you release a guide what all the commands is for and stuffs like that? Why I'm asking is because I'm an admin for MeeGo Sweden and working on an guide for the Swedish users of this app

Did an update on my last post:
Edit: "Reverse SSH configuration tab" what should it be under host?
The phones host IP or what?
Should be nice if someone please could tell me what it should be

Are you using the test email function and are you connected by a home WLAN or GPRS?
My work WLAN connection doens't allow direct connection to the Gmail smtp server (probably some firewall/port setting), my home WLAN work fine ofcourse.
Otherwise post the log or send it with a PM.

some finding and requests, maybe already reported before, using both the latest versions of smscon and smscon-editor, downloaded this morning :
- lower light sensitivity of the front can can't be used as an excuse, as the skype video plugin (telepathy-spirit) can happily get reasonable pictures in the same light conditions. I guess other camera settings and/or filters are needed, auto brightness/contrast adjustments or so. Hopefully someone else, better experienced with programming for the front camera can help ? Right now the front cam functionality is useless due to the overexposure/too high contrast ??. I'm sitting in a brightly lit office and I can't get any picture worth something.
- if in the general tab 'email' is selected for the GPS coordinates, when doing a ' location' test, the GPS coordinates are still send via SMS, so it doesn't take into account the user setting
- in the command1 tab, automatically a space is added after the prefix when applying to the commands. This doesn't happen on the commands2 screen.
- biggest issue for me so far is the fact that the controlling sms'es send from another GSM are visible to the thief. He sees them, he can follow along and will be alarmed right away (I would ...). Can't they not be intercepted ? This might need more hacker like skills. Hopefully someone can chip in.
- what's the idea of the 'call' command ? It's very obvious to the thief something dodgy is running on his new 'found' toy as all happens 'in the open'. Can it not be done hidden ? And not recorded of course ... I agree, of course, this software would then be possibly used unlawfully as a spying device ... I guess this is then the moral question of 'buying a big knife' to use in the kitchen to filet your fish OR kill your neighbor ...
some ideas for further releases :
- I vote for a remote wipe command (of the contacts, conversations, and all non-smscon related data/config. Of course we still want smscon to help us track the device, even if it's empty in terms of normal user-level data.
- hide the smscon-editor in the normal application list. Make it only xterm startable. Use system like names in the App manager list.
- give the smscon process a different name, something more like 'systemd', normal users won't know or suspect anything, in case they ever see something happening, cpu wise. (eg Conky)
- I use my N900 in multiple countries, with multiple SIM cards. When I change countries, I put always my country specific SIM card in my N900. And I put my backup SIM card in my backup phone. So I would prefer a list of 'Allowed SIMs', maybe propose auto adding it via the editor.
- Same enhancement area, depending on my SIM installed, a specific (changing) Mobile number should be auto informed if an non-authorized SIM is inserted. So some config settings (mainly mobile number, possibly others) should ideally be SIM dependent.
Btw, Don't let my enhancement requests frighten you, overall this solution is coming on very good, I think it's already usable right now in a single country/single SIM use-case (if only the SMSes were hidden).
I didn't verify SSH as my home router needs re-flashing to get my SSH access possible. Neither did I test the tracking yet. Email to gmail account work fine.
Thanks for the progress so far !

Tested both (wifi and gprs) with smscon and nothing worked.
Where to find the log file btw ?

1) If somebody could help me controlling the frontcam in a better way, please feel free to send me the code (Python).
2) This happens because the test functions are seperatly done & not through the core proccessing in smscon_daemon. I will changes this in future release.
3) I think this bug is for Saturn
(developer SMSCON-editor).4) It's indeed not ideal, I can make it so that after first SMSCON command is received no notifications are shown anymore (phone is locked, so nobody can interfere). It's a quick intermediate solution, but if somebody knows howto disable this otherwise, please share. I must not interfere with normal phone usage.
5) All (except SMS receive popup) is hidden if you enable auto device lock in settings. With the 'call me' command you can hear -maybe- where your phone is. Don't forget, SMSCON is a strange program; if all goes well you will never need it! (never gets lost or even stolen). If only one user ever needs it & founds his/hers phone back by means of SMSCON, I would definitely want to hear the story here on maemo.org.
6) I hold it under consideration for future release.
7) & 8) security wise this would be better, but I have to discuss this with Saturn.
9) I could adjust smscon to save multiple IMSI numbers (from different used SIM card) and would verify against these numbers.
10) For the moment I think this is a little too specific for implementing.
