One way is to write it to a place that's world-writable. However, be carefull not to create yet another temp file vulnerability by simply overwriting files without checking for links. > Should this go to $HOME/.sane ? Does this work with saned? I should work with saned but probably not the way the user expects. As saned is started by user saned (at least that's what the manpage suggests) I guess the data is saved in /home/saned/.sane. So it will be accessible by all remote users. But I haven't tested this. In any case, make sure the filename is unique by including the backend's name. Bye, Henning
