The problem was indeed with the incorrect passing of arguments.
Many thanks to the following people who sent information as well as
replacement code!

The correct way is shown here:
===========
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <prot.h>
#include <sia.h>
#include <siad.h>
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int auth_status;
int myargc;
char *myargv[2];
myargc = 1;
myargv[0] = "chkpass";
myargv[1] = NULL;
auth_status=sia_validate_user(NULL,myargc,myargv,NULL,argv[1],
NULL,0,NULL , argv[2]);
if( auth_status != SIASUCCESS){
printf("wrong password \n");
return(1);
}
printf("right password \n");
return 0;
}
