Thanks for replying!

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 ...
