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 .

74.Sh HISTORY
75The
76.Nm
77policy module first appeared in
78.Fx 5.0
79and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.
80.Sh AUTHORS
81This software was contributed to the
82.Fx
83Project by Network Associates Labs,
84the Security Research Division of Network Associates
85Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 ("CBOSS"),
86as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
87.Sh BUGS
88See
89.Xr mac 9
90concerning appropriateness for production use.
91The TrustedBSD MAC Framework is considered experimental in
92.Fx .
93.Pp
94While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of
95the root user, not all attack channels are currently protected by entry
96point checks.
97As such, MAC Framework policies should not be relied on, in isolation,
98to protect against a malicious privileged user.
