  Description : application security framework

AppArmor is an application security tool designed to provide an 
easy-to-use security framework for your applications. AppArmor 
proactively protects the operating system and applications from 
external or internal threats, even zero-day attacks, by enforcing
good behavior and preventing even unknown application flaws from 
being exploited. AppArmor security policies, called "profiles", 
completely define what system resources individual applications
can access, and with what privileges. A number of default profiles 
are included with AppArmor, and using a combination of advanced 
static analysis and learning-based tools, AppArmor profiles for 
even very complex applications can be deployed successfully in a 
matter of hours.

Re: stupid dependencies on update-inetd

Are you asking for a flamewar? I really don't see any justification for
beeing attacked by you in such a way. 

The fact is simple: I don't read this list (lack of time and lack of 
interest in flamepostings like yours), therefore i do not know about 
any "discussions on this list" and therefore i didn't know that i did 
wrong. So its an affront to accuse me of ignoring a discussion. Get
yourself some manners.

In fact i replaced the dependency on inetd with a dependency on 
update-inetd some time ago because i felt this to be right we. I
even checked with the inetd-maintainer. My package needs the
update-inetd binary and depending on update-inetd surely seemed the
right way because my impression was that update-inetd would be the
new package to depend on when one needs update-ineted.

If you want to fix the situation, try to write a nicely worded advice
what to do. If you only want to spread flames, then f... off. I'm now
really pissed by our flame attempt, because i haven't done wrong really.



Regards
Michael
