-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi!
The solution to your problem is the SANE network daemon saned. You can install saned who is running as root (yes, the man-page says, this isn't recommended) and allow users to access to scanner over TCP. Please see the man-pages saned, sane-net and sane-mustek_pp for hints how to setup this. Information about user authentication with passwords is provided in the man-pages saned and scanimage. regards - -- jochen [Richard] > Good evening > > I thought i had it made. > Xsane recognised the scanner and i was in business..so i thought. > > In the archives there is a letter addressing just that. > http://www.mostang.com/mail-archive/sane-devel/2001-01/0195.html > > I changed owner and chmod the files as suggested. > Then when i tested SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=255 xsane in non root mode > i had a surprise. > > Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid. > This is not a supported use of GTK+.
