I agree and intentionally opened the bug against procps because I was able convince myself that it was a procps change and not an AppArmor change.
I don't think this change is a problem and, personally, I like seeing the confinement mode in the output. I think we've came to the conclusion that this is fine behavior so I'm going to mark this bug as invalid since we don't plan on 'fixing' anything here. ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to procps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561330 Title: ps security data column includes AppArmor confinement mode in 16.04 Status in procps package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: In Xenial, running linux 4.4.0-15-generic and procps 2:3.3.10-4ubuntu2, I see that the security data column has changed to displaying the AppArmor confinement mode: $ ps wZ $(pidof cups-browsed) LABEL PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND /usr/sbin/cups-browsed (enforce) 786 ?

Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed There was a large AppArmor kernel change in Xenial's 4.4.0-15-generic so to rule that out, I booted into an earlier Xenial kernel and saw the same issue: $ uname -a Linux sec-xenial-i386 4.4.0-7-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 18 20:50:09 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux $ ps wZ $(pidof cups-browsed) LABEL PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND /usr/sbin/cups-browsed (enforce) 631 ?
