I've just spent 2 hours trying to scan over the net (using sane-0.63), only to
fill syslog with "rejected" messages.

Then, after much gnashing of teeth, I discovered that, in frontend/saned.c, in
check_host(), one does two strcmp(3) to check the connecting party's hostname to
those in saned.conf. These should really be strcasecmp(3)s, since DNS-entries
are case-insensitive (and yes, that's why I couldn't get it to work before).

This should definitly be fixed in 0.64.

And now for some good news:
I got the Nikon LS-1000 to scan at 300 and 2700 dpi using Didier's
code! Hurrah! But there are still quite a lot of work left...
