Hrm, I either never got the original (not surprising) of I was just 
skimming my mail to quickly and missed your question (even less 
surprising).

> auth       required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

This line...

> auth            include         system-auth

and this one are redundant.  They both run through the system-auth chain as 
part of authentication.  In effect you are telling PAM that any sudo 
authentication needs to do system authentication twice w/ whatever 
pam_nologin does in between.

You'll want to remove one or the other, after investigating any subtle 
differences between the two that I'm unaware of, which may or may not 
exist.  (I haven't messed with PAM in months.)
