m. allan noah asked that I post this as it may be of assistance to others. Recently I posted a message with subject of saned -d6 OK saned fails
I am running Ubuntu V 7.10 (Latest) and recently purchased a HP C5280 printer scanner, my Linux Ubuntu machine acts as a server to 2 XP laptops. Both laptops connected fine to the printer function over a network with my Linux Ubuntu machine running a CUPS server. The scanner worked fine on the Ubuntu machine via Xsane but I was unable to get the scanner working via the network. I was using the network version of Xsane and SaneTWAIN on my XP machine to attempt connections. I initially had inetutils-inetd installed but was unable to get port 6566 to show to networked machines, a manually entered saned command with the -d flag, -d5 or above connected but I got the following error messages; xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx geoff at challenger:~$ saned -d1 [saned] main: [1] bind failed: Address already in use geoff at challenger:~$ saned -d4 [saned] main: starting debug mode (level 4) [saned] main: [1] bind failed: Address already in use [saned] main: waiting for control connection geoff at challenger:~$ saned -d5 [saned] main: starting debug mode (level 5) [saned] main: trying to get port for service `sane-port' (getaddrinfo) [saned] main: [0] socket () using IPv6 [saned] main: [0] setsockopt () [saned] main: [0] bind () to port 6566 [saned] main: [0] listen () [saned] main: [1] socket () using IPv4 [saned] main: [1] setsockopt () [saned] main: [1] bind () to port 6566 [saned] main: [1] bind failed: Address already in use [saned] main: waiting for control connection xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I tried various 'Open Ports' scanning programs and none showed port 6566 as in use, all expected ports showed up but not port 6566. So, at this stage saned -d5 or higher allowed a remote computer to connect to my scanner but less than 5 following -d did not allow a connection. I'm not sure why the -d flag altered the connection but it did. AsI had followed all advice and instructions and couldn't see why saned wasn't working via inetd I decided to uninstal inetutils-inetd and try openbsd-inetd This worked first go with no alteration of any configuration files by me. So, on my Ubuntu machines inetutils-inetd DID NOT WORK whereas openbsd-inetd WORKED FINE.
