Bug 321473 – media-gfx/sane-backends: add xinetd support via USE flag

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Richard F. Ostrow Jr. 2010-05-25 17:52:40 UTC]

sane-backends saned daemon is run via inetd (or xinetd). This ebuild patch adds support for xinetd by adding an appropriate config to /etc/xinetd.d, as well as reminding the administrator to configure /etc/sane.d/saned.conf to allow for remote access (the whole point of having an xinetd config).

Reproducible: Always

with xinetd USE flags the ebuild should also create a new "saned" user, member of the "scanner" group.

And pkg_postinst should talk about adding the saned daemon in /etc/hosts.allow and add the "saned" user in the "usb" group if the scanner is usb.

Better late than never. Done in .23, thank you!
