it's inetd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:sane-port 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN
869/inetd
Is this to be expected or might it be something to do with network
manager ?
At this point, you look at your inetd.conf file and see what's in
there.
The only thing not commented out is
sane-port stream tcp nowait saned /usr/sbin/scanbm scanbm
The scanbd installer package must have put it there.
I'm thinking inetd is the thing that is watching and tells scanbm to
wake up.
Thinking that the debian scanbd maintainers had everything setup nicely
and I screwed up following wrong READMEs etc I purged scanbd and
reinstalled.
Now I have 2 net.scanners.
Getting to be a bit of a nightmare.
It was all working yesterday then I was having permission denied stuff
trying to save scans in my home directory from a script in /etc/scanbd
when I'd have thought it should work when it wrote to /tmp OK.
A few times I've had a window pop up when pasting stuff into a file
saying to effect "this looks unsafe, are you sure you want to do that"
I'm wondering if there is some helpful program in Debian 11 which is
monitoring activity and giving the "permission denied" ?
