[Bug 559628] Re: yust another apparmor-message

[Jamie Strandboge]

I'll mark this as Triaged, but I'm thinking that the profile is doing
its job. From the ld.so man page:

/etc/ld.so.preload: File containing a whitespace separated list of ELF
shared libraries to be loaded before the program. libraries and an
ordered list of candidate libraries.

IMO, if the administrator wants to use /etc/ld.so.preload, then he/she
should update the profile accordingly. This makes sense too because if
the administrator updated /etc/ld.so.preload, there is a good chance the
profile would have to be updated to allow access to the preload
libraries anyway (ie simply adding this to the profile doesn't really
'fix' it).

Michael, if you want access to /etc/ld.so.preload (keeping in mind you may need to make other changes), please add to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd:
  /etc/ld.so.preload r,

then perform:
$ sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd

** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- yust another apparmor-message
+ ntpd profile denies access to /etc/ld.so.preload

-- 
ntpd profile denies access to /etc/ld.so.preload
