Package: sane-utils
Version: 1.0.19~cvs20071213-5
Severity: wishlist
I'm not sure I understand why user saned couldn't be in scanner group by
default...
A scanner may not be something which needs much paranoid security, in
general ?
Anyway, it would help a lot to have devices like HP PSC (Printer +
Scanner) working in a networked environment, with network scanning
possible. These are handled in udev (through rules provided by hplip)
through group 'scanner' for access rights.
Thus the need for saned user to belong to the scanner group.
Thanks in advance.

As I explained in my last mail, I spent quite some time figuring out a
proper strategy for managing permissions wrt saned due to possible
privacy concerns with networked scanners and multiple scanners on one
host.
After careful consideration, I do not wish to change the current
setup, because I think it's a sensible setup and changing it could
come as a bad surprise for some users.
Thanks,
JB.
