Novell Releases SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SP3 (ITJungle)

ITJungle covers the release of Service Pack 3 for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. "SLES 9 SP3 also has the AppArmor security program that Novell bought when it acquired Immunix, a provider of application security software for Linux, last May. SLES 9 SP3 has AppArmor woven in as well as Linux application security profiles for selected applications; the exact number was not revealed in the SP3 release notes. As the company revealed when it took the AppArmor product open source as an openSUSE project earlier this week, the full AppArmor code and a more complete set of application security profiles--some made by Novell, some made by application providers through the openSUSE community--are expected to be embedded into the future SLES 10 operating system, which is expected some time in May of this year."
