| 5 | What is TOMOYO? |
| 6 | =============== |
| 7 | |
| 8 | TOMOYO is a name-based MAC extension (LSM module) for the Linux kernel. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | LiveCD-based tutorials are available at |
| 11 | |
| 12 | http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/1.8/ubuntu12.04-live.html |
| 13 | http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/1.8/centos6-live.html |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Though these tutorials use non-LSM version of TOMOYO, they are useful for you |
| 16 | to know what TOMOYO is. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | How to enable TOMOYO? |
| 19 | ===================== |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Build the kernel with ``CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO=y`` and pass ``security=tomoyo`` on |
| 22 | kernel's command line. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Please see http://tomoyo.osdn.jp/2.5/ for details. |

| 26 | Where is documentation? |
| 27 | ======================= |

| 29 | User <-> Kernel interface documentation is available at |

| 54 | What is future plan? |
| 55 | ==================== |
| 56 | |
| 57 | We believe that inode based security and name based security are complementary |
| 58 | and both should be used together. But unfortunately, so far, we cannot enable |
| 59 | multiple LSM modules at the same time. We feel sorry that you have to give up |
| 60 | SELinux/SMACK/AppArmor etc. when you want to use TOMOYO. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | We hope that LSM becomes stackable in future. Meanwhile, you can use non-LSM |
| 63 | version of TOMOYO, available at http://tomoyo.osdn.jp/1.8/ . |
| 64 | LSM version of TOMOYO is a subset of non-LSM version of TOMOYO. We are planning |
| 65 | to port non-LSM version's functionalities to LSM versions. |
