| What is TOMOYO? |
| =============== |
| |
| TOMOYO is a name-based MAC extension (LSM module) for the Linux kernel. |
| |
| LiveCD-based tutorials are available at |
| |
| http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/1.7/1st-step/ubuntu10.04-live/ |
| http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/1.7/1st-step/centos5-live/ |
| |
| Though these tutorials use non-LSM version of TOMOYO, they are useful for you |
| to know what TOMOYO is. |
| |
| How to enable TOMOYO? |
| ===================== |
| |
| Build the kernel with ``CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO=y`` and pass ``security=tomoyo`` on |
| kernel's command line. |
| |
| Please see http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/2.3/ for details. |
| |
| Where is documentation? |
| ======================= |
| |
| User <-> Kernel interface documentation is available at |
| http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/2.3/policy-reference.html . |
| |
| Materials we prepared for seminars and symposiums are available at |
| http://sourceforge.jp/projects/tomoyo/docs/?category_id=532&language_id=1 . |

| What is future plan? |
| ==================== |
| |
| We believe that inode based security and name based security are complementary |
| and both should be used together. But unfortunately, so far, we cannot enable |
| multiple LSM modules at the same time. We feel sorry that you have to give up |
| SELinux/SMACK/AppArmor etc. when you want to use TOMOYO. |
| |
| We hope that LSM becomes stackable in future. Meanwhile, you can use non-LSM |
| version of TOMOYO, available at http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/1.7/ . |
| LSM version of TOMOYO is a subset of non-LSM version of TOMOYO. We are planning |
| to port non-LSM version's functionalities to LSM versions. |
