None. Or create /dev/scanner1 and /dev/scanner2.
The point is, that you have to edit the sane configuration files.
They are usually located in $prefix/etc/sane.d/, where prefix should
be /usr for distributions. It might however be, that SuSe put it directly to
/etc. You have to edit the <scannertype>.conf file (e.g. mustek.conf)
and list the appropriate devices.
Moreover, if you want to scan as non-root, you might want to use mknod to
create real aliases instead of the symlinks and give them appropriate
permissions. I'd suggest to create a group "sane" or "scanner", add the
appropriate users in, chgrp the device nodes to it, and make sure the
scanner devices are group-read/write (yes, write is needed).
