No, apparmor is fine - it's lightweight and relatively non-intrusive.
But it doesn't serve any useful purpose, so why waste the resources on it?
Why do you say it serves no useful purpose?
OTOH on access file scanning is overly intrusive, resource hungry and, to be quite honest, unnecessary for non-microsoft OSes.
Unnecessary for non-MS OSes because virus writers don't target the platform. They want to cause the most damage possible (or spread the farthest, or whatever), so MS is the target. As MS loses their market share, that will shift.
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. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
