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.
