siainit(8) System Manager's Manual siainit(8)NAME
siainit - SIA (Security Integration Architecture) initialization command
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/siainit
DESCRIPTION
The siainit command is the SIA's initialization command and is executed only at a reboot. The siainit command informs the configured secu-
rity mechanisms of a reboot and allows each security mechanism to do its own reboot initialization.
The siainit command is not a general user level command and is intended to execute only from the /sbin/rc3.d/S27sia startup script. If you
use this command at times other than reboot, the results are undetermined.
DIAGNOSTICS
Indicates that SIA and the configured security mechanisms were successfully initialized on the reboot. Indicates that SIA or one of the
security mechanisms is improperly configured.
CLUSTER NOTE
In a cluster, returning SIADFAIL from the siad_init() routine causes the siainitgood file to be removed. This causes other cluster members
that have applications or utilities that use SIA to begin to return failures.

sia_init - initialization routine for SIA (Security Integration Architecture)
LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sia.h>
#include <siad.h>
int sia_init(void);
DESCRIPTION
The sia_init() routine is called by every sia_* routine to initialize the SIA configuration. This routine indirectly sets up the matrix of
switches used to drive the SIA interfaces.
RETURN VALUES
The sia_init() routine returns either SIASUCCESS or SIAFAIL.
ERRORS
The errno value is not (normally) set explicitly by sia_* routines. The errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface,
from dependent (siad_*) routines, or from malloc. Possible errors include resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication
failures.

Today hasn't been the best one of my career in IT.
I've been a contractor for a major utility company for a number of years, on a number of seperate IT contracts mostly Unix. The company had 10 different flavours of unix and multiple different varsions of most of them.
