Environment

Linux distribution and version: Lubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Firejail version: 0.9.66

Hi altogether,

running Linux Lubuntu 20.04.2 LTS I received my latest batch of updates yesterday, among them
firejail. So I´m on version 0.9.66 now.

I´ve learnt that there´s a new tool - jailcheck - available, which is phantastic. Thanks a lot for that.

However some programmes I run within firejail needed some tinkering with as they wouldn´t run the way they used to.

Finally I got w3m, newsboat and podboat working again.

For e.g. podboat I used the default.profile and had just to comment out "include disable-programs.inc": "#include disable-programs.inc". That way it works again.

But: when invoking the jailcheck command I get this:

4513:rosika::firejail podboat 
   Warning: AppArmor not enabled
   Virtual dirs: /var/tmp, 
   Warning: I can run programs in /home/rosika
   Warning: I can run programs in /tmp
   Warning: I can run programs in /run/user/1000
   Networking: enabled

... which got me wondering. How crucial are those warnings? Should I have done something different?

Comparing it to the results I got from "firejail firefox":

3102:rosika::firejail --private=/media/rosika/f14a27c2-0b49-4607-94ea-2e56bbf76fe1/DATEN-PARTITION/Dokumente/work2 firefox 
   Virtual dirs: /home/rosika, /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev, /usr/share, 
                 /run/user/1000, 
   Networking: enabled

I see I get no warnings here.

Could you help me somehow?

Thanks so much in advance.

Many greetings.
Rosika
