What is the content of your xinetd configfile?
I had to explicitly set it to use the group id by adding "groups = yes". By
default xinetd doesn't care about the group permissions, only the user
permissions.
service sane
{
disable = no
port = 6566
socket_type = stream
wait = no
groups = yes
user = saned
group = saned
server = /usr/sbin/saned
}
