32.Dt MAC_BSDEXTENDED 4
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm mac_bsdextended
36.Nd "file system firewall policy"
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38To compile the file system firewall policy into your kernel,
39place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
40.Bd -ragged -offset indent
41.Cd "options MAC"
42.Cd "options MAC_BSDEXTENDED"
43.Ed
44.Pp
45Alternately, to load the file system firewall policy module at boot time,
46place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
47.Bd -ragged -offset indent
48.Cd "options MAC"
49.Ed
50.Pp
51and in
52.Xr loader.conf 5 :
53.Bd -literal -offset indent
54mac_bsdextended_load="YES"
55.Ed
56.Sh DESCRIPTION
57The
58.Nm
59security policy module provides an interface for the system administrator
60to impose mandatory rules regarding users and some system objects.
61Rules are uploaded to the module
62(typically using
63.Xr ugidfw 8 ,
64or some other tool utilizing
65.Xr libugidfw 3 )
66where they are stored internally
67and used to determine whether to allow or deny specific accesses
68(see
69.Xr ugidfw 8 ) .
70.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
71While the traditional
72.Xr mac 9
73entry points are implemented,
74policy labels are not used;
75instead, access control decisions are made by iterating through the internal
76list of rules until a rule
77which denies the particular access
78is found,
79or the end of the list is reached.
80The
81.Nm
82policy works similar to
83.Xr ipfw 8
84or by using a
85.Em first match semantic .
86This means that not all rules are applied,
87only the first matched rule; thus if
88Rule A allows access and Rule B blocks
89access, Rule B will never be applied.
90.Ss Sysctls
91The following sysctls may be used to tweak the behavior of
92.Nm :
93.Bl -tag -width indent
94.It Va security.mac.bsdextended.enabled
95Set to zero or one to toggle the policy off or on.
96.It Va security.mac.bsdextended.rule_count
97List the number of defined rules, the maximum rule count is
98current set at 256.
99.It Va security.mac.bsdextended.rule_slots
100List the number of rule slots currently being used.
101.It Va security.mac.bsdextended.firstmatch_enabled
102Toggle between the old all rules match functionality
103and the new first rule matches functionality.
104This is enabled by default.
105.It Va security.mac.bsdextended.logging
106Log all access violations via the
107.Dv AUTHPRIV
108.Xr syslog 3
109facility.
110.It Va security.mac.bsdextended.rules
111Currently does nothing interesting.

130.Sh HISTORY
131The
132.Nm
133policy module first appeared in
134.Fx 5.0
135and was developed by the
136.Tn TrustedBSD
137Project.
138.Pp
139The "match first case" and logging capabilities were later added by
140.An Tom Rhodes Aq Mt trhodes@FreeBSD.org .
