  --- 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/en/1.6.x/1st-step/ubuntu8.04-live/
  http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/en/1.6.x/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/en/2.2.x/ for details.
  
  --- Where is documentation? ---
  
  User <-> Kernel interface documentation is available at
  http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/en/2.2.x/policy-reference.html .
  
  Materials we prepared for seminars and symposiums are available at
  http://sourceforge.jp/projects/tomoyo/docs/?category_id=532&language_id=1 .
  Below lists are chosen from three aspects.

  --- 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/en/1.6.x/ .
  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.
