DESCRIPTION
  siad_chk_invoker()

  The siad_chk_invoker() routine is called to verify that the calling program
  is sufficiently privileged to perform security checks or security
  information updates. Usually only the local security mechanism is
  configured to	 perform this check.  Although multiple mechanisms can be
  utilized.

  following status:

  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.
