This is normal when invoking saned from the command line and
completely harmless.
  Benedikt> Starting 'scanimage -L' doesn't do anything...
Read the sane-net man-page.  Set environment variable SANE_NET_DEBUG
to a large value (say 128) and you should see what it's doing when
invoking "scanimage -L".

You shouldn't mention mention "net" on the server.  But as long as umax

Looks good.

Ditto.

What's more interesting: does "scanimage -L" on varenorn show the
scanner?  If not, there'd be no surprise that you wouldn't see the
scanner on the client machine.

Umh, this is something you need for saned.  To quote from the saned(1)
man page:
       For  saned to work properly, it is also necessary to add a
       configuration line to /etc/inetd.conf.  The  configuration
       line normally looks like this:
          sane stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/local/sbin/saned saned
It's not my fault if you don't read the man page carefully.

Try with '-d99' instead of '-d 99' and (on the client-side), with
SANE_NET_DEBUG set to 128.
