15Though these tutorials use non-LSM version of TOMOYO, they are useful for you
16to know what TOMOYO is.
17
18How to enable TOMOYO?
19=====================
20
21Build the kernel with ``CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO=y`` and pass ``security=tomoyo`` on
22kernel's command line.

54What is future plan?
55====================
56
57We believe that inode based security and name based security are complementary
58and both should be used together. But unfortunately, so far, we cannot enable
59multiple LSM modules at the same time. We feel sorry that you have to give up
60SELinux/SMACK/AppArmor etc. when you want to use TOMOYO.
61
62We hope that LSM becomes stackable in future. Meanwhile, you can use non-LSM
63version of TOMOYO, available at http://tomoyo.osdn.jp/1.8/ .
64LSM version of TOMOYO is a subset of non-LSM version of TOMOYO. We are planning
65to port non-LSM version's functionalities to LSM versions.
