Enough people wanted to use it that it was enabled in Ubuntu Feisty, and got more complete attention for Ubuntu Gutsy (as already mentioned). AFAIU, Novell still has people working on AppArmor, and it will remain their supported MAC for SLES 11. I use it for confining things like Gaim, Firefox, and network games. Super easy to build up the rules, and there are some nice docs about using it[1] (which are only mildly specific to Ubuntu). -Kees [1] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor -- Kees Cook _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
