| --- 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 | |

| --- 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. |
