37.2 Enabling and Disabling Novell AppArmor
Novell AppArmor is configured to run by default on any fresh installation of
openSUSE. There are two ways of toggling the status of AppArmor:
- Using YaST System Services (Runlevel)
-
Disable or enable AppArmor by removing or adding its boot script to the
sequence of scripts executed on system boot. Status changes are
applied at the next system boot.
- Using Novell AppArmor Control Panel
-
Toggle the status of Novell AppArmor in a running system by switching it off or
on using the YaST Novell AppArmor Control Panel. Changes made here are applied
instantaneously. The Control Panel triggers a stop or start event for
AppArmor and removes or adds its boot script in the system's boot
sequence.
To disable AppArmor permanently by removing it from the sequence of scripts
executed on system boot, proceed as follows:
-
Start YaST.
-
Select .
-
Select .
-
Select boot.apparmor and click .
-
Exit the YaST Runlevel tool with .
AppArmor will not be initialized on the next system boot and stays inactive
until you explicitly reenable it. Reenabling a service using the YaST
Runlevel tool is similar to disabling it.
Toggle the status of AppArmor in a running system by using the AppArmor Control
Panel. These changes take effect as soon as you apply them and survive a
reboot of the system. To toggle AppArmor's status, proceed as follows:
-
Start YaST.
-
Select .
