Is there a way to find out if and in case which linux security LSM (apparmor, selinux, grsecurity) is used by the kernel? To be more specific let's assume I am a legimate root user of the machine? If information available also it would be nice to furthermore know: With regard to the question, is there a difference with considering the machine being (a) a local computer, (b) a dedicated server and (c) a virtual server "vServer" ## update ## I know that I could for instance install the user-space stuff (on a debian for instance apt-get install apparmor) and check if it yields results related to the specific LSM. So I could do for apparmor sudo apparmor_status which would then for instance yield: apparmor module is not loaded. which helps me rule out that option. Yet I was looking for a more general approach covering most/all LSM. ## update2 ## I have discovered the path /sys/kernel/security. Maybe this is helpful finding an answer?
