The profiles in this directory are not turned on by default because they are not as mature as the profiles in /etc/apparmor.d/. In some cases, it is because the profile hasn't been updated to work with newer code; in other cases, it because any benefit provided by the profile is much less than the potential for causing problems. In short, feel free to try these profiles if you wish, but be aware that they may not work on default configurations, let alone your specific configuration. To use, for example, the postfix profiles, we recommend running commands such as: # cd /etc/apparmor/profiles/extras # mv *postfix* usr.sbin.post* /etc/apparmor.d/ # mv usr.bin.procmail usr.sbin.sendmail /etc/apparmor.d/ # aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/*postfix* # aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.post* # aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.procmail # aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.sendmail # rcapparmor restart # aa-logprof Once you've used the profiles enough to feel confident that they will work for your situation, then run commands such as the following: # aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/*postfix* # aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.post* # aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.procmail # aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.sendmail You may use the aa-unconfined tool to make sure your profiles are working as you expect. Feedback on these unsupported profiles is welcomed; any contributions for this directory should be clearly licensed -- we recommend using the GPL.
