A sudo IO-plugin written in Rust that requires a second live human to approve and monitor privileged sudo sessions. It enforces dual-control for root access, supporting compliance requirements like SOX.

Use cases

  • require dual approval for sudo commands
  • enforce two-person rule for privileged access
  • meet SOX compliance for root access
  • have a peer monitor live sudo sessions
  • add dual-control to linux servers

When to choose

  • you need dual-control sudo for compliance audits
  • you want a second human to approve and watch privileged sessions
  • you run shared linux infrastructure with strict access policies

When to avoid

  • you work solo with no second approver available
  • you need full privileged access management (PAM/PAM-style session recording suites)
  • you need a cross-platform solution beyond linux
