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.osdn.jp/1.8/ . +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. |
