Thanks for the guidance. I was trying to do too much via tacacs.  This
config worked:

auth       include      tacacs
account    required     pam_nologin.so
account    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
session    optional     pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    include      system-auth
