Ubuntu is working on a GUI admin tool to control both SELinux and 
AppArmor, so you might want to check them out: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityModuleAdminTool

Additionally, I've been working on a few related projects, but nothing as 
comprehensive as a replacement for the YAST tools:

* a syntax highlighting profile editor using wxGTK is in 
  svn:/trunk/management/profile-editor
* A profile parser library is nearing completion
* I'm also working on a library to parse the log messages
* There are two libraries that could be easily ported to other 
  distributions that work with the notification & security report 
  configurations, but those aren't in Forge and while they're in SuSE
  build service (and part of SLES), I'm not sure there's a public SVN 
  repository for them.  I can send you the source if you'd like.


Thanks,
