Does it get started at all? Run "telnet localhost sane". Do you get a
"connection refused" or does it wait for input? If it waits, saned
runs ok. Otherwise check /var/log/messages (or wherever xinetd places
its messages) for errors.

Does the saned user and group exist?

saned is started by xinetd when you connect to the port, so that's
noemal.

That's intended behaviour for the debug mode.
