    If you are tying to find out a replacement DB that works in AIX and Solaris, you can try looking up Oracle, DB2, mySQL, etc. The list is rather short nowadays really. Their websites will tell you their prereqs.

    Of course you can do all that unix commands and create roles and profiles but I would like to know it is possible to administrate these systems unix across a similar product.

    I hope someone else knowledgeable in this field would jump in to you help out.

    In fact Security enhancements are a big part of AIX6.1.

    It could include what you are really after,
    thanks N

    I believe that you are referring to RACF (Resource Access and Control Facility) mainframe product. Probably the closest equivalent for UNIX would be the Tivoli Access Manager for OS (TAMOS).

    Alternatively you could use LDAP to centralize user and group management for multiple systems and use Filesystem based Access Control Lists (ACLs) to control access to files (both of these are included with AIX)
