I'm trying to follow the instructions here to set up remote scanning across my network:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_USB_Scanner The USB scanner is detected locally with 'sane-find-scanner -q' and 'scanimage -L' but not remotely. I'm sure I have a misconfiguration somewhere as I didn't really understand the remote access part of the instructions I was following. I have this in /etc/group: scanner:x:411:saned saned:x:412:saned xinetd is installed, but at least some of its files were accidentally created with group 'scanner'. I don't know if that makes a difference. I commented this: only_from = localhost in /etc/xinetd.conf. There is a list of iptables rules to be applied like: [0:0] -A INPUT -m recent --update --seconds 600 --name SANE I don't know how to do that, so I skipped it, but I stopped iptables before testing the remote scanner detection. I created /etc/xinet.d/sane-port and started xinetd, but /var/log/daemon.log doesn't exist. On the remote system, I installed xsane which pulled in sane-backends and I added 192.168.0.1 to /etc/sane.d/net.conf but 'scanimage -L' doesn't detect the scanner. If anyone can point out any possible errors in this process I would really appreciate it. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
