Hello all,

I am using OpenSuse 13.2 and wanted to test AppArmor. So I activated it, 
but it was not doing exactly what I wanted to do yet, so I wanted to 
deactivate it again. I did this using yast and systemctl and both are 
telling me, that it is deactivated. aa-status is also telling me the same:

apparmor module is loaded.
0 profiles are loaded.
0 profiles are in enforce mode.
0 profiles are in complain mode.
0 processes have profiles defined.
0 processes are in enforce mode.
0 processes are in complain mode.
0 processes are unconfined but have a profile defined.


Nevertheless I still get a lot of messages like these in my log:
[222725.738438] audit: type=1400 audit(1443345412.950:16515): 
apparmor="ALLOWED" operation="open" profile="/usr/sbin/dovecot" 
name=2F686F6D652F646F7665636F742F746F727374656E2F6D61696C732F2E44656C65746564204974656D732F646F7665636F742E696E646578 
pid=8487 comm="imap" requested_mask="rw" denied_mask="rw" fsuid=1010 
ouid=1010

Only after a reboot these messages are gone.

Is this expected behavior?

Best
Torsten
