[rsbac] Newbie question: RSBAC_ENOTINITIALIZED

[Christian Praher]

Hello everyone,

my name is Christian Praher and I am a research student in Linz 
(Austria) interested in access control in general and Role Based Access 
Control (RBAC) in particular.

I recently stumbled across RSBAC, which I find really very interesting.

I just installed the latest official classic kernel with RSBAC version 
1.4.3. included.
I could compile/install the kernel without problems and also my system 
boots nicely.

However whenever I want to do something with the admin-tools I get the 
error "Error: RSBAC_ENOTINITIALIZED".
E. g. When I try to import the existing system users as specified in the 
handbook (rsbac_useradd -v -O) I get "Skipping existing user ..." for 
every user in the /etc/passwd file. When I try to import groups I get 
"Adding group ..." and in the next line of output "groupname ...: Error: 
RSBAC_ENOTINITIALIZED".
When I try to show the existing users / groups (rsbac_user/groupshow) I 
also get that "not initialized" error.

Also the rsbac_menu seems to be quite "unpopulated".

I made sure to compile the necessary modules into the kernel. I should 
notice that I'm running the system with the "softmode" kernel-switch.

Is there anything I'm missing? Any kernel-switch to set? Is there some 
place where I could look for more verbose logging?

Thanks for your answeres!

Best regards,

Christian
