SYNOPSIS
To compile the stub policy into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:options MAC options MAC_STUB
Alternately, to load the stub module at boot time, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
options MAC
and in loader.conf5:
mac_stub_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The policy module implements a stub MAC policy that has no effect on access control in the system. Unlike mac_none4, each MAC entry point is defined as a ``no-op'' so the policy module will be entered for each event, but no change in system behavior should result.Label Format
No labels are defined for .HISTORY
The policy module first appeared in Fx 5.1 and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.AUTHORS
This software was contributed to the Fx Project by Network Associates Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (``CBOSS'' ) as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.BUGS
See mac(9) concerning appropriateness for production use. The TrustedBSD MAC Framework is considered experimental in Fx .While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of the root user, not all attack channels are currently protected by entry point checks. As such, MAC Framework policies should not be relied on, in isolation, to protect against a malicious privileged user.
