Hello from San Diego.

I'm attending LinuxCon North America 2012 / Linux Security Summit 2012
and yesterday / today I had a presentation about CaitSith.

Guessing from your past posts, I assume you are talking about TOMOYO 2.5.

/etc/tomoyo/*.conf which will be loaded by /sbin/tomoyo-init are needed.
Also, /sbin/tomoyo-init is needed for loading /etc/tomoyo/*.conf
when /sbin/init starts.

If you are building your kernel for the production system, you can embed
policy files under /etc/tomoyo/ directory into the kernel by copying
/etc/tomoyo/*.conf to security/tomoyo/policy/ directory under your kernel
source tree. Also, using CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_OMIT_USERSPACE_LOADER=y
eliminates the need for locating /sbin/tomoyo-init (but you might need to
adjust policy configuration a bit if you are using
CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_OMIT_USERSPACE_LOADER=n in the development system).

You don't need to copy /usr/sbin/tomoyo-* nor /usr/lib/tomoyo/* to the
production system if you don't use these programs.

Well, comment lines are not supported.
But since unparsable lines are simply ignored, you can embed lines like

#some comment

into your policy files. (Such lines are dropped upon load and therefore
do not appear when reading /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/ interface.)

Regards.
