PSA: macOS Sonoma and sudo biometrics
FYI: macOS Sonoma makes it easier to retain enabled sudo biometrics across software updates. In previous versions, users were required to re-add an auth
line to /etc/pam.d/sudo after every update.
The /etc/pam.d/sudo file now includes the file sudo_local:
auth include sudo_local
and a template file /etc/pam.d/sudo_local.template:
```
sudo_local: local config file which survives system update and is included for sudo
uncomment following line to enable Touch ID for sudo
auth sufficient pam_tid.so
```
Simply copy that file to /etc/pam.d/sudo_local and uncomment the auth line. This should survive system updates.
