Thank you for all the help you gave me to get this working!

Here is my tutorial:

  How to set up your scanner to work with
  Sane and PDF Studio under Fedora 27 Linux's systemd

/*Background:*

*systemd*/ uses "sockets" to replace the defunct /xinetd/.
*systemd* will listen on port 6566 tcp and use /saned.socket/ to start an instance of /saned@.service/ for each request to port 6566 tcp

*Prerequisites:*

/saned's/ daemons are required to be installed.
*Fedora 27:*

|su root -c "dnf install sane-backends sane-backends-daemon" |

*Redhat Enterprise Linux and Clones (CentOS, Scientific Linux):*
Note: sane-backends is not support under Enterprise Linux due to Enterprise Linux's deliberate out of date nature as needed patches can not be installed

*Systemd Scripts:*
For the systemd configuration we need to add 2 configuration files called /*saned.socket*/ and /*saned@saned.service*/ in /*/etc/systemd/system*/ with:

ownership of /*root.root*/, and
permissions of /*755*/

/*saned.socket*/

|[Unit] Description=saned incoming socket [Socket] ListenStream=6566 Accept=yes MaxConnections=1 connect_timeout=60 [Install] WantedBy=sockets.target |


/*saned@saned.service*/

|[Unit] Description=Scanner Service Requires=saned.socket [Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/saned User=saned Group=saned StandardInput=null StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog # Environment=SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/sane.d SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 |


To create the daemon's user and group accounts:

|/su root -c "useradd saned" su root -c "useradd -g saned saned"/ |


To set ownership and permissions of these two file:

|/su root -c "chown root.root /etc/systemd/system/saned.service /etc/systemd/system/saned.socket" su root -c "chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/saned.service /etc/systemd/system/saned.socket"/ |


Add you local host name to /etc/sane.d/saned.conf.
For Example (substitute your actual network for the one shown):

|# The hostname matching is not case-sensitive. 192.168.255.0/24 localhost |


Add your local hostname resolved in /etc/hosts (get your host name from the "hostname" command).
For Example:

|127.0.0.1 foo.bar.local foo localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 |


Add the following entry to /etc/services.

|sane-port 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon |


To active these services at boot:

|/su root -c "systemctl enable saned.socket" su root -c "useradd -g saned saned"/ |


To manually start the sand service:

|/su root -c "systemctl start saned.socket"/|


SELinux on Fedora 27:

|/SELinux Policy must 3.13.1-283.21 or later To check your version SELinux Policy: rpm -qa selinux-policy To update SELinux Policy: su root -c "dnf upgrade selinux-policy" su root -c "ausearch -c 'systemd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemd" su root -c "semodule -X 300 -i my-systemd.pp" /|

To test the sand service ("$" means to test as a standard user):

|/*$ nmap -p 6566 192.168.255.10* /Starting Nmap 7.60 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-02-03 01:26 PST Nmap scan report for rn1.rent-a-nerd.local (192.168.255.10) Host is up (0.00025s latency). PORT STATE SERVICE 6566/tcp open sane-port Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.06 seconds/ *$ xsane net:192.168.255.10*/|
