• After finishing editing reload TOMOYO configuration files by executing these commands:

# tomoyo-loadpolicy -df </etc/tomoyo/domain_policy.conf
# tomoyo-loadpolicy -ef </etc/tomoyo/exception_policy.conf

Voilà — your Adobe Reader is sandboxed now.

Please note that this configuration is generated on 64-bit Arch system, and some of your ioctls and library paths may differ from mentioned above. So in order to fine-tune TOMOYO configuration for your Adobe Reader start the tomoyo-auditd.service daemon.

Then go to /var/log/tomoyo folder and start watching reject_003.log:

tail -f reject_003.log

The output of this command will show you rejected actions for Adobe Reader, so you will be able to add them to domain_policy.conf file if needed.

Detailed guide about TOMOYO configuring can be found here.
