Hi,

<EM>&gt; after some troubles with mandrake's rpm I will try to compile sane from
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; source, hoping it's the right way to make it work. But there's a thing I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; would like to know. I'm using a mustek parallel and I read somewhere in
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; man pages that I can't access device from any non-root account, unless I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; do it over the net interface.
</EM><BR>
<P>All backends that use /dev/port or inb/outb access must be run from a
<BR>
program as user root (at least with newer kernels). One way is to use
<BR>
the frontend as root or suid root the frontend but that's not
<BR>
recommended and xsane warns explicitly if it's run as root. Another
<BR>
way is to run saned as root and access the scanner with a frontend as
<BR>
normal user via the net backend.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; Does it means I have to install sane-frontends to get saned, even if
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I wanna use xsane and not xscanimage?
</EM><BR>
<P>No, saned is in sane-backends.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; Or doesn't xsane need saned?
</EM><BR>
<P>If you don't want to use xsane as root you need saned.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; BTW, is there someone who could explain me why in mandrake packages
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; there's no /usr/bin/saned but there's a /usr/bin/in.saned instead of?
</EM><BR>
<P>I may be wrong but I think that this is connected to using tcpd (tcp
<BR>
wrapper) together with the services (e.g. in.telnetd).
<BR>
<P>Bye,
