34.Dt MAC_BSDEXTENDED 4
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm mac_bsdextended
37.Nd file system firewall policy
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39To compile the file system firewall policy into your kernel,
40place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
41.Cd "options MAC"
42.Cd "options MAC_BSDEXTENDED"
43.Pp
44Alternately, to load the file system firewall policy module at boot time,
45place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
46.Cd "options MAC"
47.Pp
48and in
49.Xr loader.conf 5 :
50.Cd mac_bsdextended_load= Ns \&"YES"
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Nm
54interface provides an interface for the system administrator
55to impose mandatory rules regarding users and some system objects.
56Rules are uploaded to the module
57(typically using
58.Xr ugidfw 8 ,
59or some other tool utilizing
60.Xr libugidfw 3 )
61where they are stored internally
62and used to determine whether to allow or deny specific accesses
63(see
64.Xr ugidfw 8 ) .
65.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
66While the traditional
67.Xr mac 9
68entry points are implemented,
69policy labels are not used;
70instead, access control decisions are made by iterating through the internal
71list of rules until a rule
72which denies the particular access
73is found,
74or the end of the list is reached.

92policy module first appeared in

94and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.
