1 | --- What is TOMOYO? --- | ||
2 | |||
3 | TOMOYO is a name-based MAC extension (LSM module) for the Linux kernel. | ||
4 | |||
5 | LiveCD-based tutorials are available at | ||
6 | http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/en/1.6.x/1st-step/ubuntu8.04-live/ | ||
7 | http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/en/1.6.x/1st-step/centos5-live/ . | ||
8 | Though these tutorials use non-LSM version of TOMOYO, they are useful for you | ||
9 | to know what TOMOYO is. | ||
10 | |||
11 | --- How to enable TOMOYO? --- | ||
12 | |||
13 | Build the kernel with CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO=y and pass "security=tomoyo" on | ||
14 | kernel's command line. | ||
15 | |||
16 | Please see http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/en/2.2.x/ for details. | ||
17 | |||
18 | --- Where is documentation? --- | ||
19 | |||
20 | User <-> Kernel interface documentation is available at | ||
21 | http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/en/2.2.x/policy-reference.html . | ||
22 | |||
23 | Materials we prepared for seminars and symposiums are available at | ||
24 | http://sourceforge.jp/projects/tomoyo/docs/?category_id=532&language_id=1 . | ||
25 | Below lists are chosen from three aspects. | ||

45 | --- What is future plan? --- | ||
46 | |||
47 | We believe that inode based security and name based security are complementary | ||
48 | and both should be used together. But unfortunately, so far, we cannot enable | ||
49 | multiple LSM modules at the same time. We feel sorry that you have to give up | ||
50 | SELinux/SMACK/AppArmor etc. when you want to use TOMOYO. | ||
51 | |||
52 | We hope that LSM becomes stackable in future. Meanwhile, you can use non-LSM | ||
53 | version of TOMOYO, available at http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/en/1.6.x/ . | ||
54 | LSM version of TOMOYO is a subset of non-LSM version of TOMOYO. We are planning | ||
55 | to port non-LSM version's functionalities to LSM versions. | ||
