AppArmor only mediates confined programs, and the default set of profiles we provide is pretty slim. (Check /etc/apparmor.d/ to see what is confined by default. Check ps auxZ output to see what is currently confined. Check unconfined(8) to see a list of what network services are confined.) If AppArmor _is_ denying access to your files for one of your programs, you can easily resolve the problem by running either YaST's "Update Profile Wizard" or the terminal-friendly aa-logprof(8) and answering the questions.
access - it's designed for Enterprise/network servers with access to the outside world - generally overkill for home users and non-servers.
Depends on your applications. :) If you run clamav, apache2-mod_php4, MozillaFirefox, opera, ethereal, phpMyAdmin, squid, apache2, squirrelmail, mailman, MozillaThunderbird, gaim, gpg, mozilla, mysql, or postgresql, you may wish to run AppArmor and write profiles for those applications, to try to protect yourself from the buggiest applications. (This list compiled from programs that required five or more updates during the support lifetime of SuSE Linux 9.2. I'm sure this list will change over time, and it isn't meant to be exhaustive -- just giving guidelines of the worst offenders. :) Thanks
