.SH CONFIGURATION
-First and foremost:
-.B saned
-is not intended to be exposed to the internet or other non-trusted
-networks. Make sure that access is limited by tcpwrappers and/or a firewall
-setup. Don't depend only on
-.BR saned 's
-own authentication. Don't run
-.B saned
-as root if it's not necessary. And do

-.SH SERVER DAEMON CONFIGURATION
-For
-.B saned
-to work properly in its default mode of operation, it is also necessary to
-add the appropriate configuration for
-.BR xinetd (8),
-.BR inetd (8)
-or
-.BR systemd (1)
-(see below).
-Note that your
-.BR inetd (8)
-must support IPv6 if you want to connect to
-.B saned
-over IPv6;
-.BR xinetd (8),
-.BR openbsd-inetd (8)
-and
-.BR systemd (1)
-are known to support IPv6, check the documentation for your
-.BR inetd (8)
-daemon.
-.PP
-In the sections below the configuration for
-.BR inetd (8),
-.BR xinetd (8)
-and
-.BR systemd (1)
-are described in more detail.
-.PP
-For the configurations below it is necessary to add a line of the following
-form to
-.IR /etc/services :
-.PP
-.RS
-sane\-port 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon
-.RE
-.PP
-The official IANA short name for port 6566 is "sane\-port". The older name
-"sane" is now deprecated.
-
-.SH INETD CONFIGURATION
-It is required to add a single line to the
-.BR inetd (8)
-configuration file
-.IR (/etc/inetd.conf)
-.
-.PP
-The configuration line normally looks like this:
-.PP
-.RS
-sane\-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned @SBINDIR@/saned saned
-.RE
-.PP
-However, if your system uses
-.BR tcpd (8)
-for additional security screening, you may want to disable
-.B saned
-access control by putting ``+'' in
-.IR saned.conf
-and use a line of the following form in
-.IR /etc/inetd.conf
-instead:
-.PP
-.RS
-sane\-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/tcpd @SBINDIR@/saned
-.RE
-.PP
-Note that both examples assume that there is a
-.B saned
-group and a
-.B saned
-user. If you follow this example, please make sure that the
-access permissions on the special device are set such that
-.B saned
-can access the scanner (the program generally needs read and
-write access to scanner devices).
-
-.SH XINETD CONFIGURATION
-If
-.BR xinetd (8)
-is installed on your system instead of
-.BR inetd (8)
-the following example for
-.I /etc/xinetd.conf
-may be helpful:
-.PP
-.RS
-.ft CR
-.nf
-# default: off
-# description: The sane server accepts requests
-# for network access to a local scanner via the
-# network.
-service sane\-port
-{
- port = 6566
- socket_type = stream
- wait = no
- user = saned
- group = saned
- server = @SBINDIR@/saned

-.SH SYSTEMD CONFIGURATION
-.B saned
-can be compiled with explicit
-.BR systemd (1)
-support. This
-will allow logging debugging information to be forwarded
-to the
-.BR systemd (1)
-journal. The
-.BR systemd (1)
-support requires compilation with the systemd-devel package
-installed on the system. This is the preferred option.
-
-.B saned
-can be used with
-.BR systemd (1)
-without the
-.BR systemd (1)
-integration compiled in, but then logging of debug information is not supported.
-
-The
-.BR systemd (1)
-configuration is different for the 2 options, so both are described below.
-
-.SH Systemd configuration for saned with systemd support compiled in
-For
-.BR systemd (1)
-configuration we need to add 2 configuration files in
-.IR /etc/systemd/system .
-.PP
-The first file we need to add here is called
-.I saned.socket.
-It shall have
-the following contents:
-.PP
-.RS
-.ft CR

-Description=saned incoming socket
-
-[Socket]
-ListenStream=6566
-Accept=yes
-MaxConnections=1
-

-WantedBy=sockets.target

-The second file to be added is

-You need to set an environment variable for
-.B SANE_CONFIG_DIR
-pointing to the directory where
-.B saned
-can find its configuration files.
-You will have to remove the # on the last line and set the variables
-for the desired debugging information if required. Multiple variables
-can be set by separating the assignments by spaces as shown in the
-example above.
-.PP
-Unlike
-.BR xinetd (8)
-and
-.BR inetd (8),
-.BR systemd (1)
-allows debugging output from backends set using
-.B SANE_DEBUG_XXX
-to be captured. See the man-page for your backend to see what options
-are supported.
-With the service unit as described above, the debugging output is
-forwarded to the system log.
-
-.SH Systemd configuration when saned is compiled without systemd support
-This configuration will also work when
-.B saned
-is compiled WITH
-.BR systemd (1)
-integration support, but it does not allow debugging information to be logged.

-For
-.BR systemd (1)
-configuration for
-.BR saned ,
-we need to add 2 configuration files in
-.IR /etc/systemd/system .
