NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       siad_init - initialization routine for SIA (Security Integration
 Architecture)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <sia.h> #include <siad.h>

       int siad_init(
               void );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Standard C library - libc.so and libc.a

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The siad_init() routine is called  from  siainit()  to  do
       mechanism-specific processing once per reboot.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  siad_init()  routine  returns  either  SIASUCCESS  or
       SIAFAIL. A return of SIADFAIL from this routine will  prevent
  the system from rebooting. Consequently the SIADFAIL
       response should only be used if a security  risk  or  root
       login failure is assumed.

       In a cluster, if the siainitgood file is lost for any reason,
 other cluster members that have applications or utilities
 that use SIA will experience return failures.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
