Managing Novell Apparmor And Security Event Status - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 11 - SECURITY GUIDE 17-03-2009 Manual

23.6 Managing Novell AppArmor and
Security Event Status
You can change the status of AppArmor by enabling or disabling it. Enabling AppArmor
protects your system from potential program exploitation. Disabling AppArmor, even
if your profiles have been set up, removes protection from your system. You can deter-
mine how and when you are notified when system security events occur.
NOTE
For event notification to work, you must set up a mail server on your system
that can send outgoing mail using the single mail transfer protocol (SMTP),
such as postfix or exim.
To configure event notification or change the status of AppArmor, start YaST and select
Novell AppArmor > Novell AppArmor Control Panel.
From the AppArmor Configuration screen, determine whether Novell AppArmor and
security event notification are running by looking for a status message that reads enabled
or configure the mode of individual profiles.
