Hi all, I've noticed that my hand-edited /etc/sane.d/epson.conf on a Mandrake 9.0 system may get truncated over a reboot. Similar symptoms (empty configuration file that is) have been reported in
http://www.mostang.com/pipermail/sane-devel/2002-November/005006.html if I understand correctly. I have absolutely no trouble scanning with SCSI and USB EPSON scanners when my /etc/sane.d/epson.conf reads: scsi EPSON usb /dev/usb/scanner0 The problem is that this file (and as far as I've been able to check, only this file) may(!) get truncated over a reboot. It's as if some place an `> /etc/sane.d/epson.conf` is executed. I've tried editing several other configuration files, but so far these have survived all reboots (as did my epson.conf, so far for reproducability :-() I suspect that (one of) the Mandrake configuration tool(s), notably scannerDrake, is not playing nice. Does anyone have a clue? I seriously dislike something zapping my hand-crafted configuation files! -- Olaf Meeuwissen EPSON KOWA Corporation, ECS GnuPG key: 6BE37D90/AB6B 0D1F 99E7 1BF5 EB97 976A 16C7 F27D 6BE3 7D90 Penguin's lib! -- I hack, therefore I am -- LPIC-2
