Re-explain

AppArmor profiles can operate in two modes:

  1. Enforce Mode: The profile actively restricts the application's access according to the defined rules. Violations are blocked and logged.
  2. Complain Mode: The profile logs access violations but doesn't enforce restrictions. Useful for profile development and testing.
    Commands:
# Check profile status
aa-status
# Set profile to complain mode
aa-complain /path/to/program
# Set profile to enforce mode
aa-enforce /path/to/program
# Disable profile
aa-disable /path/to/program

Profile location: Profiles are stored in /etc/apparmor.d/ directory.
