This USER and GROUPS setup is losing me a wee bit.

I have followed the instructions as in the MAN pages, my inetd file showes the following line;

stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/saned saned

My scanner works fine on my host Linux computer and this host computer has a GROUP 
named saned and scanner but no user named scanner.

What do I need to create to get inetd to make saned useable on the network?
