Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a shared scanner using saned to use it through my
private network. While it works like a charm when started in debug mode
(-d), I can't find my scanner (an HP PSC 1510) when stated through (x)inetd
Here's my setup:
The server (called server) has the scanner
The client (called frog) tries to connect
Server setup:
/etc/xinet.d/saned
# default: off
# description: The sane server accepts requests
# for network access to a local scanner via the
# network.
service sane
{
port = 6566
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = saned
group = saned
server = /usr/sbin/saned
}
/etc/services:
root at server:~# grep 6566 /etc/services
sane-port 6566/tcp sane saned # SANE network scanner daemon
/etc/sane.d/net.conf (for testing):
# This is the net config file. Each line names a host to attach to.
# If you list "localhost" then your backends can be accessed either
# directly or through the net backend. Going through the net backend
# may be necessary to access devices that need special privileges.
localhost
/etc/sane.d/saned.conf :
#
# saned.conf
#
# The contents of the saned.conf file is a list of host names, IP
# addresses or IP subnets (CIDR notation) that are permitted to use local
# SANE devices. IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in brackets, and should
# always be specified in their compressed form.
#
# The hostname matching is not case-sensitive.
#
192.168.2.0/24
Client side :
fred at frog:~$ more /etc/sane.d/net.conf
# This is the net backend config file.
## net backend options
# Timeout for the initial connection to saned. This will prevent the backend
# from blocking for several minutes trying to connect to an unresponsive
# saned host (network outage, host down, ...). Value in seconds.
connect_timeout = 60
## saned hosts
# Each line names a host to attach to.
# If you list "localhost" then your backends can be accessed either
# directly or through the net backend. Going through the net backend
# may be necessary to access devices that need special privileges.
# localhost

We only see the local camera but not the HP scanner. The only traces
found in the /var/adm/syslog on the server is :

libwrap loadavg options compiled in.

Any idea ?
Best regards,
