int siad_chk_invoker (void)
DESCRIPTION
siad_chk_invoker()

be utilized.
RETURN VALUES

SIADSUCCESS Indicates unconditional success. All bits set to 0.
SIADFAIL Indicates conditional failure. Lowest bit set to 1. If other security mechanism are in place, continue.
SIADSTOP Indicates unconditional failure. Do not continue. Second lowest bit set to 1.
ERRORS
The errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface, from the (siad_*) routines, or from malloc. Possible errors include
resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures.
