I posted this question a week ago, and Milon Firikis was<br>
kind enough to reply, but the problem persists.<br>
<p>
I just installed sane v1.00 on my machine (running BSD/OS)<br>
It compiled, built, and installed without error.<br>
<p>
I have a UMAX Astra 1200S at /dev/sg0. <br>
<p>
  * It's permissions are 666. (Anyone can read or write them)<br>
<p>
  * The OS and the BIOS both see the scanner as a generic scsi<br>
      device at /dev/sg0<br>
<p>
  * I have a hard (not symbolic) link from /dev/sg0 to /dev/scanner<br>
<p>
  * OS diagnostics show the Astra at that device.<br>
<p>
  * When I boot windows on the same box, I can scan.<br>
<p>
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/saned.conf contains just the line:<br>
        localhost<br>
        <br>
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax.conf contains just the line:<br>
        /dev/scanner<br>
<p>
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf contains just the lines:<br>
        net<br>
        umax<br>
<p>
The inetd.conf and /etc/services entries are correct.<br>
  ("telnet localhost sane" gets a connect, and saned runs)<br>
<p>
But "scanimage --list-devices" and "find-scanner" list<br>
no devices.<br>
<p>
I'm probably configuring something wrong, but I don't know how<br>
to diagnose the problem. Is there a command I can enter from<br>
the telnet session to list the devices? What else could I<br>
be doing incorrectly?<br>
