Elevating privileges

Hello,

I'm working on an application that would require elevated privileges during certain functions. I would like to implement something like the SuSE Yast setup tool, where if a function is selected by a non privileged user, a prompt is presented for the root password, which in turn allows the function to perform properly. I don't know what the technique is to achieve this. So far I'm looking at Linux "capabilities", libcap, but I'm not sure this is the right direction and if this solution would be portable, to say a BSD based GNUstep system.

Many thanks for your help
Steven
