+.Dt MAC_PARTITION 4
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mac_partition
+.Nd "process partition policy"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile the process partition policy into your kernel,
+place the following lines in your kernel
+configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "options MAC"
+.Cd "options MAC_PARTITION"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternately, to load the process partition module at boot time,
+place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "options MAC"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+and in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+mac_partition_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+policy module implements a process partition policy,
+which allows administrators to place running processes into
+.Dq partitions ,
+based on their numeric process partition
+(specified in the process's MAC label).
+Processes with a specified partition can only see processes that are in the
+same partition.
+If no partition is specified for a process, it can see all other processes
+in the system
+(subject to other MAC policy restrictions not defined in this man page).
+No provisions for placing processes into multiple partitions are available.
+.Ss Label Format
+Partition labels take on the following format:
+.Pp
+.Sm off
+.Dl Li partition / Ar value
+.Sm on
+.Pp
+Where
+.Ar value
+can be any integer value or
+.Dq Li none .
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+partition/1
+partition/20
+partition/none
+.Ed

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+policy module first appeared in
+.Fx 5.0
+and was developed by the
+.Tn 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
+.Pq Dq CBOSS ,
+as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
+.Sh BUGS
+See
+.Xr mac 9
+concerning appropriateness for production use.
+The
+.Tn 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.
