The only thing not commented out is sane-port stream tcp nowait saned /usr/sbin/scanbm scanbm The scanbd installer package must have put it there.I'm thinking inetd is the thing that is watching and tells scanbm to wake up. Thinking that the debian scanbd maintainers had everything setup nicely and I screwed up following wrong READMEs etc I purged scanbd and reinstalled.
Now I have 2 net.scanners. Getting to be a bit of a nightmare.It was all working yesterday then I was having permission denied stuff trying to save scans in my home directory from a script in /etc/scanbd when I'd have thought it should work when it wrote to /tmp OK. A few times I've had a window pop up when pasting stuff into a file saying to effect "this looks unsafe, are you sure you want to do that" I'm wondering if there is some helpful program in Debian 11 which is monitoring activity and giving the "permission denied" ?
