Securing Your Server With AppArmor
If you want to secure your server using AppArmor, you have to create and modify the profiles for all the applications you use. This can easily be done using the YaST AppArmor modules or the command-line tools.
The YaST modules are more or less self-explaining, but more for mouse users.
Therefore I’ll explain the command-line tools a bit. I’ll also explain some AppArmor basics when needed.
Of course these instructions are also valid if you use your computer as a workstation
How to build a rpm file from a source file
This is for the Redhat, Suse, Fedora, and CentOS users. Sometimes when you try to search for rpm packages, the only thing that you find is the source file. You can create a rpm file using this tar.gz or tar.bz2 file:
- save the source file(usually in tar.gz or tar.bz2 format)
- extract the files: tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz or tar -xvjf filename.tar.bz2
- open the folder of the extracted file and find .spec file
- type: rpmbuild -bb filename.spec
- see the error and continue according to the error until you finish creating rpm files
- type: rpm -Uvh filename.rpm to install

Encrypted Root File System During Install in openSuse 10.3
Introduction and Motivation
Most laptop users do not begin to think about the problems associated with laptop theft until after they first theft occurs. If the laptop happened to contain the source code for a new product, or company confidential documents, or the notes for an newspaper article on political corruption, or maybe just a private love letter, then there is a potential for catastrophe if the data falls into the wrong hands.
To counter the potentially damaging affects of laptop theft, one can either choose not to use a laptop, use hardware encryption devices, or use software encryption to protect the data. The latter approach is particularly attractive because a software solution is more flexible than a hardware approach and with a modern CPU, most users will not notice the performance penalty associated with on-the-fly software encryption/decryption.
Use Yast to Encrypt Partitions
Use YaST to encrypt partitions or parts of your file system during installation or in an already installed system. However, encrypting a partition in an already installed system is more difficult, because you have to resize and change existing partitions. In such cases, it may be more convenient to create an encrypted file of a defined size in which to store other files or parts of your file system. To encrypt an entire partition, dedicate a partition for encryption in the partition layout. The standard partitioning proposal as suggested by YaST does not, by default, include an encrypted partition. Add it manually in the partitioning dialog.
