+LSB Specification Proposal
+
+Problem Statement:
+------------------
+
+It can be difficult for application providers to install their products on Linux
+systems that have security features turned on compared to those with the
+features turned off. Documentation is needed to guide application providers
+for how to build their applications and installers for systems with SELinux and
apparmor in use as well as for non-secured systems.
+
+(Proposed) Solution:
+--------------------
+
+Create guideline documentation for applications for installing and running within
+typical SELinux and apparmor environments compared to environments not using them.
+
+Solution Discussion Links:
+--------------------------
+
+Solution Rationale:
+------------------
+
+Many customers today want to use their preferred applications in a secure environment.
+A number of commercial applications are programmed to use more system facilities
+than are allowed to them in the secured environment. To complete the installation and
+run successfully, they advise the customer to turn off the security feature. The
+customer is then forced to make a decision between a more secure environment and
+using the application. Clearer advice on how to set up applications in secured
+environments would assist application providers in working within the environment.
+
+Distributions Support:
+----------------------
+
+Ubuntu and OpenSUSE ship with apparmor turned on by default.
+Fedora ships with SELinux turned on by default.
+
+Verification Test:
+------------------
+
+Documentation, testing not required
+
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
* Transformed the proposal from issue LinuxStandardBase#8 [1] to a proposal file
* Moved the Solution Rationale and Distributions Support sections to the Problem Statement, as these 'stages' are not yet reached (e.g. Ubuntu and openSUSE do not yet pledge to adhere to this specification, as there is no specification formed, yet)
* Added a State header with state "Problem Statement"
* Corrected the spelling of proper nouns (apparmor -> AppArmor, OpenSUSE -> openSUSE)
