+saned(8) SANE Scanner Access Now Easy saned(8)
+
+
+
+NAME
+ saned - SANE network daemon
+
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ saned [-d|-s [n]]
+
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ saned is the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) daemon that allows remote
+ clients to access image acquisition devices available on the local
+ host.
+
+
+
+OPTIONS
+ The -d and -s flags request that saned run in debug mode (as opposed to
+ inetd(8) mode). In this mode, saned explicitly waits for a connection
+ request. When compiled with debugging enabled, these flags may be fol-
+ lowed by a number to request debug info. The larger the number, the
+ more verbose the debug output. E.g., -d128 will request printing of
+ all debug info. Debug level 0 means no debug output at all. The default
+ value is 2. If flag -d is used, the debug messages will be printed to
+ stderr while -s requests using syslog.
+
+ If saned is run from inetd or xinetd, no option can be given.
+
+
+
+CONFIGURATION
+ First and foremost: saned is not intended to be exposed to the internet
+ or other non-trusted networks. Make sure that access is limited by tcp-
+ wrappers and/or a firewall setup. Don't depend only on saned's own
+ authentification. Don't run saned as root if it's not necessary. And do
+ not install saned as setuid root.
+
+ 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. Connections from local-
+ host are always permitted. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash
+ mark (#) are ignored. A line containing the single character ``+'' is
+ interpreted to match any hostname. This allows any remote machine to
+ use your scanner and may present a security risk, so this shouldn't be
+ used unless you know what you're doing. A sample configuration file is
+ shown below:
+
+ scan-client.somedomain.firm
+ # this is a comment
+ 192.168.0.1
+ 192.168.2.12/29
+ [::1]
+ [2001:7a8:185e::42:12]/64
+
+ The case of the host names does not matter, so AHost.COM is considered
+ identical to ahost.com.
+
+ For saned to work properly, it is also necessary to add a configuration
+ line to /etc/inetd.conf. Note that your inetd must support IPv6 if you
+ want to connect to saned over IPv6 ; xinetd and openbsd-inetd are known
+ to support IPv6, check the documentation for your inetd daemon.
+
+ The configuration line normally looks like this:
+
+ sane-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/local/sbin/saned
+ saned
+
+ However, if your system uses tcpd(8) for additional security screening,
+ you may want to disable saned access control by putting ``+'' in
+ saned.conf and use a line of the following form in /etc/inetd.conf
+ instead:
+
+ sane-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/tcpd
+ /usr/local/sbin/saned
+
+ Note that both examples assume that there is a saned group and a saned
+ user. If you follow this example, please make sure that the access
+ permissions on the special device are set such that saned can access
+ the scanner (the program generally needs read and write access to scan-
+ ner devices).
+
+ If xinetd is installed on your system instead of inetd the following
+ example for xinetd.conf may be helpful:
+
+ # default: off
+ # description: The sane server accepts requests
+ # for network access to a local scanner via the
+ # network.
+ service sane-port
+ {
+ port = 6566
+ socket_type = stream
+ wait = no
+ user = saned
+ group = saned
+ server = /usr/local/sbin/saned
+ }
+
+ Finally, it is also necessary to add a line of the following form to
+ /etc/services:
+
+ sane-port 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon
+
+ The official IANA short name for port 6566 is "sane-port". The older
+ name "sane" is now deprecated.
+
+
+
+RESTRICTIONS
+ In addition to the control connection (port 6566) saned also uses a
+ data connection. The port of this socket is selected by the operating
+ system and can't be specified by the user currently. This may be a
+ problem if the connection must go through a firewall (packet filter).
+ If you must use a packet filter, make sure that all ports > 1024 are
+ open on the server for connections from the client.
+
+
+
+FILES
+ /etc/hosts.equiv
+ The hosts listed in this file are permitted to access all local
+ SANE devices. Caveat: this file imposes serious security risks
+ and its use is not recommended.
+
+ /usr/local/etc/sane.d/saned.conf
+ Contains a list of hosts permitted to access local SANE devices
+ (see also description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
+
+ /usr/local/etc/sane.d/saned.users
+ If this file contains lines of the form
+
+ user:password:backend
+
+ access to the listed backends is restricted. A backend may be
+ listed multiple times for different user/password combinations.
+ The server uses MD5 encryption if supported by the client.
+
+
+
+ENVIRONMENT
+ SANE_CONFIG_DIR
+ This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
+ may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories
+ are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
+ by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config-
+ uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
+ current working directory (".") and then in
+ /usr/local/etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable
+ ends with the directory separator character, then the default
+ directories are searched after the explicitly specified directo-
+ ries. For example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:"
+ would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and
+ "/usr/local/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
