Description: Disable Yama ptrace restrictions at boot
Fedora Account System Username: pmoore

Please see RHBZ #1209492 for the detailed motivation behind this new package.

Now that we can enable multiple LSMs in one kernel, there is a strong desire to
enable Yama in Fedora kernels.  Unfortunately, some users have complained about
the new ptrace restrictions that Yama imposes by default.  This package aims to
resolve these issues by shipping a sysctl file which sets the Yama ptrace
restriction to the traditional Linux ptrace behavior; the idea is that packages
which might require the unrestricted ptrace behavior, e.g. gdb, can create a
dependency on this package and the sysctl setting will be set automatically.
