Hi All,

Okay, now this is "scary".

Both xsane and Simple Scan work locally.

I can not get saned to work, UNLESS, I edit /etc/group
and add the following to root

root:x:0:saned

Without it, I get

$ xsane net:localhost:epkowa:interpreter:001:007
Access to resource has been denied

Now what am I doing wrong?  Must saned have root privileges?

Many thanks,
-T

I just caught this:

$ ps -eo pid,user,group,args --sort user | grep cups
 5005 root     root     /usr/sbin/cupsd -l

CUPS "is" running as root.  So is it okay to add
saned to root's group?
