Hi All,

Okay, now this is "scary".

Both xsane and Simple Scan work locally.

I can not get saned to work, UNLESS, I edit /etc/group
and add the following to root

root:x:0:saned

Without it, I get

$ xsane net:localhost:epkowa:interpreter:001:007
Access to resource has been denied

Now what am I doing wrong?  Must saned have root privileges?
CUPS doesn't need it.

Many thanks,
-T

ooops, sorry:

Fedora 27, x64
Xfce 4.12

$ rpm -qa \*sane\*
kf5-libksane-17.12.1-1.fc27.x86_64
xsane-common-0.999-23.fc27.x86_64
sane-backends-libs-1.0.27-12.fc27.i686
sane-backends-drivers-cameras-1.0.27-12.fc27.x86_64
sane-backends-1.0.27-12.fc27.x86_64
xsane-0.999-23.fc27.x86_64

sane-backends-drivers-scanners-1.0.27-12.fc27.i686
sane-backends-daemon-1.0.27-12.fc27.x86_64


I just caught this:

$ ps -eo pid,user,group,args --sort user | grep cups
 5005 root     root     /usr/sbin/cupsd -l

CUPS "is" running as root.  So is it okay to add
saned to root's group?

I have a network scanner that I have installed an Epson driver for, which until I did, Xsane would not work with the scanner. I also thought Xsane used sane as its backend. How are you trying to use saned?

In my /etc/group I have an entry for saned, but like your original entry, I don't have anything connected to group root.


regards,

Steve
