Why do you say it serves no useful purpose?
Because just like Antivirus on Linux, the only thing that AppArmor is doing is preventing a user-initiated program from making changes to the system; changes that wouldn't happen if the user were being smart. IOW, both systems (AV using OAS and AA) are designed to protect the user from themselves.
That's where we differ. You folks assume that there is no difference between the unix and pc operating systems, other than market share, while we see major differences in the security model and overall design.
As a result of your beliefs, you assume that linux will be as easy a target as ms windows, and that we must hurry to adopt cumbersome, resource hungry, microsoft-style band-aid solutions.
I disagree. We might as well agree to disagree agreeably.
Agreed. :-) Except that I'm not one of the "you folks" you are talking about - I don't assume no difference between the OS; I assume little difference between users' use of the systems.
