Hi Olaf, I was trying to find out why authentication to a local test device does not work with my frontend on Ubuntu 17.10.
$ scanimage -d net:localhost:test scanimage: open of device net:localhost:test failed: Access to resource has been denied Both saned.users and $HOME/.sane/sane.pass contain the following line: testuser:goodpass:net:localhost:test I tried building sane 1.0.27 from source and could reproduce the error. 1.0.24 built from source did not show the issue. Bisecting reveals that the culprit is https://anonscm.debian.org/git/sane/sane-backends.git/commit/?id=39ceeae616a2e1638c2760d4364adcaa210a413b Reverting that commit restores the functionality. I haven't figured out what the problem is from a cursory inspection of the code, I'll continue staring at it.
