Your pre-operation and post-operation bind functions should return 0 if successful.
If the pre-operation function returns a non-zero value, the post-operation bind
function is never called.
For information on defining a function that handles authentication, see Chapter 8,
"Defining Functions for Authentication."
Getting and Setting Parameters for the Bind

called in the process of executing an unbind operation:
