Try renaming/removing your /etc/pam.d/pop file...
Claudio: do you have that file installed? I had a problem with pop on one
machine and adding:
/etc/pam.d/pop:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
solved my problem... Not sure if this is the same problem; but...
HTH,
Pierre
