Hello,
if I understood it correctly the AppArmor version 1.2 of SUSE 10.0 does not allow to create new profiles with the Add Profile Wizard.
But when I played with it I found out the command line tool "genprof" actually does allow to generate a new profile and genprof is nothing else than the Yast Wizard, is this right? So I actually can add a new profile using genprof, but just not using the Yast Wizard?
BTW, are there Novell/OpenSUSE sites that offer new profiles for download?
Thanks Malte

My mistake... genprof /opt/kde3/bin/kaffeine worked, whereas genprof /usr/local/bin/xine does not and refuses as expected to create a new profile. It seem to depend where the executable is located if AppArmor 1.2 refuses to add a new profile. Interesting...

Just use the one from 10.1 then, it is unrestricted.

Thanx for the hint. 10.0 and 10.1 use different kernels, does the 10.0 kernel work flawlessly with AppArmor2 from 10.1 or does AppArmor2 come with a new kernel module?
Thanx and Regards Malte

I dont know I am afraid.
I will bring up if we can un-restrict the 10.0 version via YOU.

That woul be really great, thanks! AppArmor really is a cool thing, other operating systems can only dream of something like this ;-)

To un-restrict AppArmor 1.2 in SUSE Linux 10.0, place the attached file darix.pem into /etc/apparmor/certs/ and it'll unlock the whole mess.
What's going on: AppArmor 1.2 in SL10.0 has an evil DRM hack in it so that it will only generate profiles for pathnames that SUSE has signed for. This was as open as we could make it at the time that SL10.0 had to ship last fall, before we had permission to open source AppArmor. My apologies to everyone in inconvenienced.
The darix.pem key signs for everything, so you can profile any program you want, which makes SL10.0 function just as if it had unrestricted AppArmor. This should be less disruptive than trying to use AA from SL10.1.

Thank you very much! So the restriction was a legal issue. I guess most people may have thought it had other reasons ;-) As Marcus suggested, wouldn´t it be even more nice to offer this certificate as a regular patch via YOU? Do you get any feedback from people using AA, is its use widely spread, any big names using it?

I'd say yes ;-)

BTW: I agree that a YOU update removing the restrictions in 10.0 would be a very good idea.

We are trying to decide which would be better:
* Issue the certificate via YOU. This imposes the least change on your systems. Least work for you, least work for us, but kinda kludgey. * Issue an updated AppArmor parser via YOU. This imposes larger changes on your system, but results in simpler software running on your systems. This is more work for you, more work for us, but is the right thing to do.
But if we are going to talk about the "right thing to do", the right thing is to upgrade to SUSE 10.1 :) which has the unrestricted version of AppArmor by default. It also has some new features, and a much improved set of profiles.

Thinking about server availability - servers seem to be the place AppArmor is most useful - patches that do _not_ require reconfiguration and/or manual intervention are most attractive.
And with 10.1 coming soon, if you're willing to play around with your servers settings anyway, upgradeing seems doable.
