35.Dt MAC_NONE 4
36.Sh NAME
37.Nm mac_none
38.Nd "sample MAC policy module"
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40To compile the sample policy
41into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
42configuration file:
43.Bd -ragged -offset indent
44.Cd "options MAC"
45.Cd "options MAC_NONE"
46.Ed
47.Pp
48Alternately, to load the sample module at boot time, place the following line
49in your kernel configuration file:
50.Bd -ragged -offset indent
51.Cd "options MAC"
52.Ed
53.Pp
54and in
55.Xr loader.conf 5 :
56.Bd -literal -offset indent
57mac_none_load="YES"
58.Ed
59.Sh DESCRIPTION
60The
61.Nm
62policy module implements a sample MAC policy that has no effect on
63access control in the system.
64Each MAC entry point is a
65.Dq no-op .
66.Ss Label Format
67No labels are defined for
68.Nm .

81.Sh HISTORY
82The
83.Nm
84policy module first appeared in
85.Fx 5.0
86and was developed by the
87.Tn TrustedBSD
88Project.
89.Sh AUTHORS
90This software was contributed to the
91.Fx
92Project by Network Associates Labs,
93the Security Research Division of Network Associates
94Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035
95.Pq Dq CBOSS ,
96as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
97.Sh BUGS
98See
99.Xr mac 9
100concerning appropriateness for production use.
101The
102.Tn TrustedBSD
103MAC Framework is considered experimental in
104.Fx .
105.Pp
106While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of
107the root user, not all attack channels are currently protected by entry
108point checks.
109As such, MAC Framework policies should not be relied on, in isolation,
110to protect against a malicious privileged user.
