Hi !<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; I've got a problem with two scsi-scanners under Linux. How can I make</i><br>
<i>&gt; both accesible? According to /proc/scsi/scsi both are recognized in the</i><br>
<i>&gt; system. I am running a SuSE 6.1 Linux; the yast menu allows only one</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner to be installed and when doing it manually there is the problem</i><br>
<i>&gt; with the ln -s for /dev/scanner: Which one should I let the symlink</i><br>
<i>&gt; point to?</i><br>
<p>
None. Or create /dev/scanner1 and /dev/scanner2.<br>
<p>
The point is, that you have to edit the sane configuration files.<br>
<p>
They are usually located in $prefix/etc/sane.d/, where prefix should <br>
be /usr for distributions. It might however be, that SuSe put it directly to <br>
/etc. You have to edit the &lt;scannertype&gt;.conf file (e.g. mustek.conf)<br>
and list the appropriate devices. <br>
<p>
Moreover, if you want to scan as non-root, you might want to use mknod to <br>
create real aliases instead of the symlinks and give them appropriate <br>
permissions. I'd suggest to create a group "sane" or "scanner", add the<br>
appropriate users in, chgrp the device nodes to it, and make sure the<br>
scanner devices are group-read/write (yes, write is needed).<br>
<p>
CU, ANdy<br>
