I understood why the authentication using partimaged-passwd was not working.

The rpm has to be created with login and pam enabled and the 
rule pam_unix.so has to be removed. Doing this, the server authenticates using
the db45 database created by the script. The authentication is logged in the
file /var/log/secure.

On the other hand, compiling with pam disabled and login enabled makes the
authentication work using only the /etc/partimaged/patimagedusers file.
Partimage does not use pam for this type of authentication.

Therefore, the files 

/etc/pam.d/partimaged
/usr/share/man/man8/partimaged-passwd.8.gz
/usr/share/partimaged/partimaged-passwd

are only included in the package when pam support is on.

One has to rebuild the package for getting pam support,
and as a consequence, get a (weaker) non-local user type of authentication.
