Details

Description:
Saned is spamming syslog with messages like "Jan 23 21:16:56 localhost saned[1615]: run_standalone: accept failed: Socket operation on non-socket". I can scan from remote hosts just fine, but this is causing high load.
A workaround is to kill the child saned process. This stops the messages and saned still works.
The problem has been fixed in upstream, as per http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=312422&group_id=30186&atid=410366

Additional info:
* package version: 1.0.21-4 i686 (might affect x86_64, but I couldn't test)
* config file: saned exhibits this issue with both the default saned.conf and a modified one to allow hosts on my lan to scan


Steps to reproduce:
Run saned -a
Check log file

Actually, saned works fine if started by xinetd (just found out that's how it's meant to be used from https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22574), so this issue is moot.
