net.conf: add host name to contact (e.g. localhost)
saned.conf: add host name that is allowed to scan (localhost is always
  allowed)
inetd.conf/xinetd.conf: set up to run saned as root. But this file
  should not have been deleted :-) 

Info: man saned, man sane-net, http://home.arcor.de/jochen.eisinger/saned/

Bye,
