MAC_STUB(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual		     MAC_STUB(4)

NAME
     mac_stub -- MAC policy stub module

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.conf(5):

	   mac_stub_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The  mac_stub policy module implements a stub MAC policy that has no effect
     on access control in the system.  Unlike mac_none(4), 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 mac_stub.

HISTORY
     The mac_stub policy module first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1 and was  developed
     by the TrustedBSD Project.

AUTHORS
     This  software was contributed to the FreeBSD 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
     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.

FreeBSD 15.1			  July 25, 2015 		     MAC_STUB(4)
