34.Dt MAC_NONE 4
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm mac_none
37.Nd sample MAC policy module
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39To compile the sample policy
40into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
41configuration file:
42.Cd "options MAC"
43.Cd "options MAC_NONE"
44.Pp
45Alternately, to load the sample module at boot time, place the following line
46in your kernel configuration file:
47.Cd "options MAC"
48.Pp
49and in
50.Xr loader.conf 5 :
51.Cd mac_none_load= Ns \&"YES"
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53The
54.Nm
55policy module implements a sample MAC policy that has no effect on
56access control in the system.
57Each MAC entry point is a
58.Dq no-op .
59.Ss Label Format
60No labels are defined for
61.Nm .

73.Sh HISTORY
74The
75.Nm
76policy module first appeared in
77.Fx 5.0
78and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.
79.Sh AUTHORS
80This software was contributed to the
81.Fx
82Project by Network Associates Labs,
83the Security Research Division of Network Associates
84Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 ("CBOSS"),
85as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
86.Sh BUGS
87See
88.Xr mac 9
89concerning appropriateness for production use.
90The TrustedBSD MAC Framework is considered experimental in
91.Fx .
92.Pp
93While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of
94the root user, not all attack channels are currently protected by entry
95point checks.
96As such, MAC Framework policies should not be relied on, in isolation,
97to protect against a malicious privileged user.
