.SH BUGS
-If the pnm backend is installed and saned is used to allow users on remote
-computers to scan on the local machine, pnm files can be read by the remote
-user. This is limited to the files saned can access (usually it's running as
-user "sane"). All pnm files can be read if saned runs as root which isn't
-recommended anyway. The pnm backend is disabled by default. If you want to use
-it, enable it with configure (see configure \-\-help for details). Be sure that
-only trusted users can access the pnm backend over saned.
