SOLVED.

The problem was /etc/pam.d/cups. :-)

I used /etc/pam.d/cups from cups 1.2 and it works now.

cups 1.2

cat /etc/pam.d/cups
auth    include         system-auth
account include         system-auth

cups 1.4

cat /etc/pam.d/cups
auth    required        pam_unix.so nullok shadow
account required        pam_unix.so

Bye.
