Public bug reported:
Am trying to get NTP to work with the kernel PPS subsystem, for high-
accuracy GPS-based clocks. On startup of NTPd I see this:
Apr 1 11:18:58 doorway kernel: [ 300.387443] audit: type=1400
audit(1459505938.042:9): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="/usr/sbin/ntpd" name="/dev/pps0" pid=1668 comm="ntpd"
requested_mask="wr" denied_mask="wr" fsuid=0 ouid=0
Adding this to the usr.sbin.ntpd apparmor profile eliminated the error:
/dev/pps[0-9]* rw,
I'm not sure why ntpd needs *write* access to ppsN though, perhaps that can be
improved.
