Role Based Access Control

[skylearner]

Hi,

I have an application which is developed C to work on Solaris. I am working on porting this application to Linux (CentOS). I have this feature of role based access control which I am doing it through my application. For which I have library Security Attributes Database Library. "libsecdb.so" available on Solaris. Which give me calls ensure the role based access control ( basing on the user and their profile the user is given certain previleges like System Administrator has certain previleges a normal user has certain previleges...) some of the calls which help me achieve these are "getpfornam", "setprofattr", "getuserattr", "setuserattr". These calls inturn use these files available on solaris "/etc/security/prof_attr" , "/etc/user_attr". I could not find any equivalent calls and similar functionality in Linux( CentOS). Please suggest and help
