=== Scanserver with saned under Ubuntu 10.04 ===
Unfortunately there seems to be a bug in the inetd service under Ubuntu 10.04.

Therefore the configuration of saned scanserver had changed.

== 1. Install openbsd-inetd ==
 sudo apt-get purge inetutils-inetd
 sudo apt-get install openbsd-inetd

== 2. Change the rights for saned ==
 sudo addgroup scanner
 sudo usermod -G scanner -a saned

== 3. Configure inetd ==
Edit ''/etc/inetd.conf'' and add the following
 sane-port       stream  tcp     nowait  root     /usr/sbin/saned saned

== 4. Configure saned ==
On the server edit ''/etc/sane.d/saned.conf'' according to your local network:
 ## Access list
 192.168.0.0/24

On the client  edti ''/etc/sane.d/net.conf'' and add the servers IP or hostname
 ## saned hosts
 scanserver

== 5. Restart the service ==
 sudo openbsd-inetd restart

That's it.

Beside the point wether it is secure to run saned as "root", this works!
