MAC_TEST(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		   MAC_TEST(4)

NAME
       mac_test	-- MAC framework testing policy

SYNOPSIS
       To  compile  the	 testing  policy into your kernel, place the following
       lines in	your kernel configuration file:

	     options MAC
	     options MAC_TEST

       Alternately, to load the	testing	module at boot time, place the follow-
       ing line	in your	kernel configuration file:

	     options MAC

       and in loader.conf(5):

	     mac_test_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The mac_test policy module implements a testing facility	 for  the  MAC
       framework.   Among other	things,	mac_test will try to catch corrupt la-
       bels the	system is attempting to	destroy	and drop to the	debugger.  Ad-
       ditionally, a set of statistics regarding the number of	times  various
       MAC   framework	entry  points  have  been  called  is  stored  in  the
       security.mac.test sysctl(8) tree.

   Label Format
       No labels are defined for mac_test.

HISTORY
       The mac_test policy module first	appeared in FreeBSD 5.0	and was	devel-
       oped by the TrustedBSD Project.

AUTHORS
       This software was contributed to	the FreeBSD Project by	Network	 Asso-
       ciates  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 re-
       lied on,	in isolation, to protect against a malicious privileged	user.
