- sane-utils (sane-backends) for Debian
- -------------------------------------
-
- This package contains various utilities shipped with sane-backends, among
- which saned, the network scanner daemon.
-
- This package added a saned user and a saned group to your system; it is highly
- recommended to run saned as user and group saned and NEVER EVER as root.
-
-
- To enable saned in the default configuration (running as user and group saned),
- use update-inetd to enable the service:
- # update-inetd --enable sane-port
- To disable saned, use update-inetd to disable the service:
- # update-inetd --disable sane-port
-
- If you want to run saned under another user and/or group, edit /etc/inetd.conf
- and change saned:saned for the appropriate user:group combination.
-
-
- To operate in this setup, saned must be able to access to your scanner;
- different setups are possible, depending on who should be able to access to the
- scanner:
-
- * saned users only:
- => device owned by saned:root or saned:saned
- * saned users and local users:
- => device owned by saned:scanner, with local users added to the scanner group
- * local users only:
- => device owned by root:scanner, local users added to the scanner group
-
- Note that by default the saned users is not part of the scanner group.
-
- If you intend to use saned with a USB scanner, note that the permissions for
- USB scanners are handled by udev.
-
- See /usr/share/doc/libsane/README.Debian.gz for more information on setting up
- appropriate permissions.
