<p>Hi,<br>
<br>
I followed the instructions in this tutorial<br>
<br>
<a

<br>
to set up a network scanner.<br>
<br>
Everything should be set as needed. However, when I open xsane on
a client PC (I tried more than one client, with the same result),
the host saned denies access:<br>
</p>
<div class="bbcode_container">
<pre class="bbcode_code" style="height:84px;">Feb 6 14:29:56 xxxxxxx systemd[1]: Started Scanner Service (xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:46488).
Feb 6 14:29:56 xxxxxxx saned[5122]: saned (AF-indep+IPv6) from sane-backends 1.0.26git starting up
Feb 6 14:29:56 xxxxxxx saned[5122]: check_host: access by remote host: localhost
Feb 6 14:29:56 xxxxxxx saned[5122]: init: access by host localhost denied
Feb 6 14:29:56 xxxxxxx saned[5122]: saned exiting</pre>
</div>
I'm puzzled here by the fact that the access request comes from
'localhost' instead of the client IP/name. If I indeed include
localhost in the allowed IPs, the log changes into:
<div class="bbcode_container">
<pre class="bbcode_code" style="height:48px;">check_host: access by remote host: localhost
init: bad status=22 or procnum=6350304</pre>
</div>
I tried several things (add saned to lp and saned groups, modify
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:saned@.service">saned@.service</a>, define permission rules for saned), but nothing
changes. Of course, the scanner works locally on the host. If,
however, I add localhost both in saned.conf and in net.conf, I can
connect to the scanner only locally, no second 'localhost' copy is
detected by xsane (as mentioned in the tutorial for
troubleshooting).<br>
<br>
Do you have any idea?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Stefano
