Hi,
I have an Asus WL500gP with White Russian RC6 and running SaNE... which I seem to have gotten working to an extent... (it answers scanimage -L correctly).

I have xinetd set up to allow access over the network from Windows machine with XSane but I have an access problem... (I am also a bit of a novice).

I can't get access and the log shows connection refused...

Apr 24 16:19:21 (none) daemon.notice xinetd[835]: Started working: 1 available service
Apr 24 16:19:29 (none) kern.debug saned[837]: saned (AF-indep+IPv6) from sane-backends 1.0.18 ready
Apr 24 16:19:30 (none) kern.debug saned[837]: check_host: access by remote host: 192.168.23.102

the following .conf files are:

root@Axle:~# cat /etc/sane.d/saned.conf
#
# saned.conf
#
# The contents of the saned.conf  file  is  a  list  of  host  names,  IP
# addresses or IP subnets (CIDR notation) that are permitted to use local
# SANE devices. IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in brackets,  and  should
# always  be specified in their compressed form.
192.168.23.0/24

root@Axle:~# cat /etc/xinetd.d/sane
service sane-port
{
  socket_type = stream
  server = /usr/sbin/saned
  protocol = tcp
  user = root
  group = root
  wait = no
  disable = no
}

root@Axle:~# cat /etc/services
sane-port       6566/tcp

Could someone please give me an idea how I can allow access... I am fairly sure its a permissions thing but I haven't worked it out... (already driven inSaNE with getting saned going... :-)  )

Thanks

Chris
