That's on the client machine? Does "scanimage --help" on the server work? > After (or while) displaying help-message the backend asks for an username and > password.

Enter username: > --lamp-off [ > Enter password: > Speicherzugriffsfehler My first guess is that this is not really a authetication request but some sort of data destruction somewhere. One hint is the segfault. Does the same happen with "scanimage -d hp --help"? > The Scanner is a HP C2500A, the OS is Debian woody and I'm using Sane in the > released version 1.0.8. On both server and client? To find out more about the problem, could you please send us the output of SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_WIRE=255 SANE_DEBUG_NET=255 scanimage --help It may be worth a try to run saned on the server in debug mode: Disable it in inetd (or xinetd) and start it like this: SANE_DEBUG_HP=255 saned -d255 Please send the output when scanimage --help is called.
