IIRC it doesn't - you should find a file called /etc/pam.d/other
which is used for apps calling pam whioch don't have their own config file.
system-auth is used for centralised checking, and is usually referenced in 
other files using the pam_stack library for particular test types.

this is why:
/etc/pam.d/other
#%PAM-1.0
auth     required       /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
account  required       /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
password required       /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
session  required       /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so

i.e Go Away.
