Each line contains a reference to a path that does not exist. For example:
auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
My filesystem does not contain a directory path of /lib/security/$ISA so I can't help but become curious.
On most GNU/Linux platforms, the variable $ISA is not set, which makes those paths /lib/security//pam_deny.so (which do exist). On certain paltforms (Solaris in particular), it's used to specify between different sets of binaries (in Solaris' case, between 32 and 64-bit versions, the latter of which get $ISA set to 'sparcv9').
It may get used similarly on 64-bit platforms under Linux.
In any case, don't worry too much about it.
