Yea, I remember at work someone genned a suse system and forgot
to disable AppArmor. I forget which program it was, but some totally
innocuous utility like "date" or "uname" or something wouldn't
run because AppArmor was configured to call it dangerous for
some reason.

The truly wonderful part was that if you made a copy of the
executable under a different name, it worked fine, it was only
the installed one that AppArmor was helpfully protecting you from.

I'm not sure what security model that corresponds to, the
word "lame" comes to mind however :-).
