[sane-devel] Inetd is not a friend of saneds.

[Johan Andrén]

Hi,
I have been trying to use the latest saned trough inetd
on a Slackware 7.1 box. And I have ran across some serious
problems, if i run "saned -d" it works just fine both to find 
and use the scanner, but as soon as i try to use it trough inetd
it refuses.

I have followed the saned guide on the website, this is 
what i have added:

/etc/services:
sane            6566/tcp        saned   # scanning service

/etc/inetd.conf:
sane    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd saned
(i have also tried without tcpd)

/etc/sane.d/net.conf:
localhost

/etc/sane.d/saned.conf:
+
(when i tried without tcpd i used localhost and the IP of my workstation)

/etc/hosts.allow:
saned : 10.30.57.0/255.255.255.0
(to allow access only from clients on my own net)

When i try to run "SANE_DEBUG_NET=128 scanimage -L"
from my workstation (or from the server itself) i get:
"[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of net to 128.

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

[net] sane_exit: closing dev 0x805e5b8, ctl=-1

Does anybody have a clue?

Thanks for a great app anyways.
