[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#440709: initscripts: Please mount securityfs

[Michael Holzt]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-1
Severity: wishlist

I intent to package apparmor for debian. Apparmor depends on securityfs be
mounted. Securityfs is included in the linux kernel for quite a while and
seems to be used by the kernel tpm driver as well.

securityfs is mounted on /sys/kernel/security (when that mountpoint is
available) like mount -t securityfs securityfs /sys/kernel/security. It
seems safe to do this always when /sys/kernel/security is present, but
a mount call which the apparmor init script can depend on would do the
job as well.
