Added both read and write for every one, changed the line in inet.conf
back to nobody.nobody, and all works well.
So, prehaps there should be a note in the man page for saned that on a Red
Hat 4.2 box, the permissions on the scsi divice will need to be changed.
Note, the only scsi device I have at this point is the scanner, if one
also has disks, then I do not know what security ramifications this might
have.
Thanks again for the great software, and have a great day.
