Thanks, Ralph for the info below.

As Brian said, the file is saned.conf.<br>

So for this part, we are really talking about how to run saned on
the server machine.<br>
Depending on the distro and how they packaged it, you might find
that saned is already running or set up to start on demand.<br>
<br>
Perhaps check to see if a saned process is running. You could also
see if a service manager is listening on your behalf:<br>
<br>
netstat -an | grep 6566<br>
<br>
In my case:<br>
<br>
tcp6 0 0 :::6566 :::*
LISTEN <br>
<br>
With the above, you should be set.<br>
If it is not running and no-one is listening on the port, you could
run it manually for testing purposes.<br>
<br>
E.g.<br>
saned -l -p 6566 -b 192.168.1.12 -e -d5<br>
<br>
The address and port should be configured to what you desire. Port
6566 is the default port so you should probably stick to that.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
