What I am trying to do is to allow everyone of
192.168.255.0/24 and
127.0.0.1
to access saned
as such I have /etc/sane.d/saned.conf (comments removed):
192.168.255.0/24
127.0.0.1
Have I done things correct so far?
Confusion: in the saned man page, it states:
FILES
/etc/hosts.equiv
The hosts listed in this file are permitted to
access all local SANE devices. Caveat: this
file imposes serious security risks and its
use is not recommended.
No fooling not recommended!
Why do I need hosts.equiv to allow access to all SANE
devices? I though I just did that in saned.conf?
You don't need one. Just use /etc/sane.d/saned.conf. The manual page
is just saying saned will use /etc/hosts.equiv if present. You are
safer of without a hosts.equiv file. For details see
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/hosts.equiv.5.html
Hope this helps,

Do I need to specify anything other than what I already have
under saned.conf to get everyone on those two networks
access to saned?
