  Hi all,

  I am having a bit of a conceptual problem with the sane-net backend, and
  the confusing error messages from sane are not helping.

  On the remote machine with the scanner attached, I can run xscan and the
  scanner (an HP) works fine.

  I have set up saned.conf on the remote machine like so:

  +

  (I'll lock this down later, right now I just want to see it work once).

  On the local machine, I have the net.conf file set up like this:

  watchman.domain.se

  On the local machine, I try to connect to this remote machine like this:

  xsane net:watchman.domain.se:/dev/scanner

  I get a log entry on the remote side like this:

  Sep 25 17:28:57 watchman saned[4808]: access by root@esoe068-206
  accepted
  Sep 25 17:29:03 watchman saned[4808]: exiting

  The message is always "access by root@esoe068-206 accepted", regardless
  of whether I log into the local machine as user root or not.

  On the local side I get the error message:

  "Failed to open device `net:watchman.domain.se:/dev/scanner`: Invalid
  Argument"

  The remote side is configured to listen via inetd. The saned runs as
  user "saned". The /dev/scanner link and the device /dev/sge are both
  owned by "saned" and have the correct permissions.

  Can anyone see where this has gone wrong?

  Is there a net HOWTO anywhere describing how you can get net access to a
  working state in a step by step fashion?

  Regards,
  Graham
