Hmm, I have a similar configuration (RedHat 5.2, UMAX 1200S) and
I'm having no trouble. I assume the compilation and build went
OK?
If so, check these other items:
add saned /etc/group (vi)
add saned /etc/passwd (vipw)
add sane /etc/inetd.conf
chown 666 /dev/sgc
add localhost /usr/local/etc/sane.d/saned.conf
and try again. Good luck. You can email me directly if
it still doesn't come up.
