Package: libsane Version: 1.0.17-3 Severity: normal I use xsane to access an agfa snapscan scsi scanner installed on one host from another host using net.conf Both hosts run debian unstable. It has been working very well until now. I cannot use xinetd on the the server host anymore. The net backend will only work if I run saned directly.
Here is the output if I try to run saned via xinetd : On the client, I run : SANE_DEBUG_NET=255 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of net to 255.

Here is the file /etc/saned.d/net.conf on the client : # This is the net config file. Each line names a host to attach to. # If you list "localhost" then your backends can be accessed either # directly or through the net backend.
