It was nsswitch.conf !
I had previously (about 3 weeks ago) modified nsswitch.conf to something
like this
passwd: compat winbind
shadow: compat
group: compat winbind
and I could login all the time without problems.
Somehow, after updating the system to latest kernel an dbus versions, it
started to play the foul ...
As soon as I put
passwd: files compat winbind
shadow: files compat
group: files compat winbind
and restarted the system, I could login as root or whatever I wanted.
It's weird, though ...
A big THANK YOU to all of you for the advices and the time spent for my
problem!
