[Bug 1399845] Re: tunables/global doesn't include all defined variables

 

I'm not sure I get what's the problem: what exact variable (or tunable
file containing variables) do you think should be made available "to
every profile", and is currently not?

My understanding of this comment (as a non-native English speaker) is
that there is a possibility that some tunables (e.g. the dovecot and
ntpd ones) are not globals, don't need to be made available to every
profile, and thus should not be included in tunables/global. It makes
sense to me from a design PoV, and also from a profile author PoV. Did I
miss anything?

Title:
  tunables/global doesn't include all defined variables

Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The comment at the top of tunables/global says:

  # All the tunables definitions that should be available to every profile
  # should be included here

  But not all defined variables are included:

  $ grep include global 
  # should be included here
  #include <tunables/home>
  #include <tunables/multiarch>
  #include <tunables/proc>
  #include <tunables/alias>
  #include <tunables/kernelvars>
  #include <tunables/xdg-user-dirs>

  vs

  $ ls -1
  alias
  apparmorfs
  dovecot
  global
  home
  home.d
  kernelvars
  multiarch
  multiarch.d
  ntpd
  proc
  securityfs
  sys
  xdg-user-dirs
  xdg-user-dirs.d

  
  Thanks
