Hi, I have been trying to use the latest saned trough inetd on a Slackware 7.1 box. And I have ran across some serious problems, if i run "saned -d" it works just fine both to find and use the scanner, but as soon as i try to use it trough inetd it refuses.
I have followed the saned guide on the website, this is what i have added: /etc/services: sane 6566/tcp saned # scanning service /etc/inetd.conf: sane stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd saned (i have also tried without tcpd) /etc/sane.d/net.conf: localhost /etc/sane.d/saned.conf: + (when i tried without tcpd i used localhost and the IP of my workstation) /etc/hosts.allow: saned : 10.30.57.0/255.255.255.0 (to allow access only from clients on my own net) When i try to run "SANE_DEBUG_NET=128 scanimage -L" from my workstation (or from the server itself) i get: "[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of net to 128. [net] sane_init: authorize = 0x8049260, version_code = 0xbffff548 [net] sane_init: SANE net backend version 1.0.6 from sane-backends-1.0.7 [net] sane_init: Client has little endian byte order [net] sane_init: determining sane service port [net] sane_init: found port 6566 [net] sane_init: searching for config file [net] sane_init: trying to add 10.30.57.1 [net] add_device: adding backend 10.30.57.1 [net] add_device: backend 10.30.57.1 added [net] sane_init: done reading config [net] sane_init: evaluating environment variable SANE_NET_HOSTS [net] sane_init: done [net] sane_get_devices: local_only = 0 [net] connect_dev: trying to connect to 10.30.57.1 [net] connect_dev: connection succeeded [net] connect_dev: sanei_w_init [net] connect_dev: net_init (user=(null), local version=1.0.3) [net] connect_dev: argument marshalling error (Connection reset by peer) [net] connect_dev: closing connection to 10.30.57.1 [net] sane_get_devices: ignoring failure to connect to 10.30.57.1 [net] sane_get_devices: finished (0 devices) No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). [net] sane_exit: exiting [net] sane_exit: closing dev 0x805e5b8, ctl=-1 [net] sane_exit: finished." Does anybody have a clue? Thanks for a great app anyways. /Johan
