[solved] sane-utils, update-inetd, xinetd and inetutils-inetd

[Member stevesr0]

Hi,

I installed sane-utils and update-inetd came along as a dependency. However since I don’t have an inetd installed, I get error messages when update-inetd attempts to update. I just looked and saw that xinetd and inetutils-inetd are in our repositories. Anybody have experience with these and can offer advice about which package to install?

I am told this daemon needs to be configured for sane to work for scanning across my network. (While I have two computers that are already able to work with my network scanner, I am trying to get the third one working and I thought this might help.)

Thanks in advance.

After installing xinet, and without configuring it, I subsequently got scanning working on all computers. Don’t think xinetd had anything to do with solving it.

So my opening post is now moot.

If desired, moderator can mark it solved…or lost interest <g>.
