I had the same problem.
After a little research i found out that Debian makes a directory for
pwcheck in /var/run/ but the pwcheck shipped with woody tries to open
a unix-domain-socket in /var/state/pwcheck/

Maybe not the best solution but
rm -rf /var/run/pwcheck
mkdir /var/state/pwcheck
chown cyrus.mail /var/state/pwcheck
chmod 700 /var/state/pwcheck
ln -s /var/state/pwcheck /var/run/pwcheck
should work for you.

HTH,
