What I do in these situations is manually do the "include" for
system-auth and then remove the unnecessary lines.
That is, keep your first two lines, then replace the third line with
the "account" entries of system-auth. At that point you have an
identical setup but you can now try commenting out the pam_access
account line without needing to affect any other pam files which may
also include system-auth.
