In fact, that was the problem. as6edriver is located in /usr/local/bin and
could not be found by saned started by xinetd.
What I did is to set the path in the init script starting xinetd, so
xinetd inherits this path and passes it over to saned. Not knowing if this
is the most elegant solution, it works.

Thank you for your kind and quick relpy.
