+.Dt MAC_TEST 4
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mac_test
+.Nd MAC framework testing policy
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile the testing policy
+into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
+configuration file:
+.Cd "options MAC"
+.Cd "options MAC_TEST"
+.Pp
+Alternately, to load the testing module at boot time, place the following line
+in your kernel configuration file:
+.Cd "options MAC"
+.Pp
+and in
+.Xr loader.conf.5 :
+.Cd mac_test_load= Ns \&"YES"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+policy module implements a testing facility for the MAC framework.
+Among other things,
+.Nm
+will try to catch corrupt labels the system is attempting to destroy and
+drop to the debugger.
+Additionally, a set of statistics regarding the number of times various
+MAC framework entry points have been called is stored in the
+.Va security.mac.test
+.Xr sysctl 8
+tree.
+.Ss Label Format
+No labels are defined for
+.Nm .

+.Xr mac_bsdextended 4 ,
+.Xr mac_mls 4 ,
+.Xr mac_none 4 ,
+.Xr mac_seeotheruids 4 ,
+.Xr mac 9
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+policy module first appeared in
+.Fx 5.0
+and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.
+.Sh AUTHORS
+This software was contributed to the
+.Fx
+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.
+.Sh BUGS
+See
+.Xr mac 9
+concerning appropriateness for production use.
+The TrustedBSD MAC Framework is considered experimental in
+.Fx .
+.Pp
+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.
