Troubleshooting /usr/sbin/ejabberdctl: line 428: 14615 Segmentation fault

I noticed once after installing EJabberd in Ubuntu Server 16.04 and adding the user from the root command:

ejabberdctl register USER localhost PASSWORD

The following error:

/usr/sbin/ejabberdctl: line 428: 14615 Segmentation fault $EXEC_CMD “$CMD”

The log file /var/log/syslog reported:

Sep 11 11:17:00 mail kernel: [4647543.535271] audit: type=1400 audit(1505117820.598:43): apparmor=”DENIED” operation=”file_mmap” profile=”/usr/sbin/ejabberdctl//su” name=”/bin/su” pid=14439 comm=”su” requested_mask=”m” denied_mask=”m” fsuid=0 ouid=0

To solve the error, I opened the apparmor configuration file:

nano /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ejabberdctl

Found the string:

/bin/su                                 r,

And changed it by adding m:

/bin/su                                 rm,

Restarted the apparmor:

sudo service apparmor restart

Done, the error no longer appears.
