all the settings were ok. when run alone webcam was updating the
webcam.jpeg in /home/subash/public_ html/images every 3 seconds. but
ayttm was still giving "cat: /home/subash//: Is a directory" error.

i just edited /usr/local/bin/ayttm_streamer_wrapper.sh to include:
IMGDIR=/home/subash/html_public/images
IMGFILE=webcam.jpeg
cat $IMGDIR/$IMGFILE

and things were working. the 'my webcam' window was being refreshed (me,
i was yellow :)), the error messages disappeared. connection reset by
peer a few times but soon webcam packets were being sent (meaning i saw
the matrix). but, my friend uses the official windows client and he said
he could still only see a dark frame. 

thanks and regards, subash.
