Description

Super-user authentication can be gated through a PAM module that asks an Android phone for biometric verification. This package builds and installs suto as a PAM authenticator. It is high-risk authentication infrastructure; phone pairing, fallback access, PAM configuration, and recovery paths must be tested before using it for privileged commands.
