Great :) Good to hear, on both counts. :)
I still can't imagine how the application could cheerfully squirrel away a syntax error without squawking. I would have had serious words with my team if they'd done that. :)
That's a good question. Thankfully, our error handling here has improved drastically in newer versions, so at least newer releases will squawk. :)
Just in case, I actually looked in the manual that came with my SuSE 10.0 boxed set - since I've advised people to RTFM enough times myself - but I couldn't find any mention of AppArmor. Bit of an oversight, don't you think? Especially with an application that takes it into its head every now and then to start putting the barriers up for no good reason that I can see.
10.0 was prepared hastily. :/ I believe the AppArmor Admin Guide was only available as a PDF for 10.0.
Still, as I say, an educational experience.
Thanks for the help. Honestly. :)
And yes, OK, if I'd just upgrade... But it's taken me so long to get this version set up as I want it, I just can't face the hassle. Not for a year or so, anyway.
Something I can completely understand. I detest losing a day to reconfigure my software, recompile my local modifications, and try to return to a working system with a bunch of software that no longer functions as it used to. But sometimes the changes are bugfixes :) Any other problems with AppArmor, don't hesitate to yell.
