I read the INSTALL, as I have before but, but it implies that I have to
replace inetd.
Is checkpasswd the problem with my setup?
Do I need to replace inetd with tcpserver in order to replace

no, just replace /bin/checkpassword with /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
or whatever your vpopmail home directory is
