Hi folks, I just used sane recently for the first time in some while. I do regular=20 portsnap/portupgrade and something has changed with sane since I last used = it. =20 When I run scanimage it asks for the users password on localhost. =46rom the command line, that's not a big deal but running Gimp from the de= sktop=20 causes Gimp to stop when initialising the xsane plugin. That can be worked= =20 around by running Gimp from a terminal but I'd much rather know why scanima= ge=20 is asking for the password and how to either stop it asking or set it up to= it=20 knows how to read the password. The installer and man page both list some info which I either don't underst= and=20 or am simply getting wrong. My main interest at this stage is finding out what "resource" is in=20 ~/.sane/pass man page and googling around only tells me that ~/.sane/pass is line of the= =20 format user:password;resource but I don't know what resource ought to be. The user is in group operator and devfs.rules assigns group operator to=20 /dev/ugen4.2 and dev/usb/4.2.0, mode 0666 Also, %cat /usr/local/etc/devd/saned.conf=20 notify 100 { match "system" "USB"; match "subsystem" "INTERFACE"; match "type" "ATTACH"; match "cdev" "ugen[0-9].[0-9]"; match "vendor" "0x04A9"; match "product" "0x1908"; action "chown -L dave:dave /dev/$cdev && chmod -L 660 /dev/$cdev"; }; (The chown line has been tried with operator:operator, root;operator,=20 saned:saned and dave:saned etc) scanimage -L Password for dave on localhost?=20 device `pixma:04A91908' is a CANON Canoscan 9000F multi-function peripheral Any helpful pointers gratefully accepted.
