Perhaps someone could post a brief note that compares and contrasts
SELinux with AppArmor.
I am getting ready to set up SELinux on a server, but haven't actually
started yet. My first step would be to purchase a good technical book
on SELinux, as what little experience I already have with SELinux
suggests that it is not for the faint of heart.
Would I be better off using AppArmor instead? Or could the two of
them be used in combination?
My plan is for my server to run Apache, a modest web application,
Postfix and the MailMan email list manager.
Thanks for any insight you can give me,
There are plenty of comparisons if one enters "apparmor vs selinux" in
a
google search.
Then you can decide for yourself.
Some people will point out that AppArmor comes from the Novell folks and
is already integrated with openSUSE. They would also remind folks of
the collaboration between Novell and Microsoft.
So, when reading the various comparisons make sure you know which bias
may be in play.
