System name: tla
Type and version: KN01 7.6B (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAX-MFB
What were you trying to do?
Start system accounting by setting ACCOUNT to true in
/etc/athena/rc.conf
What's wrong:
system accounting was not started. I looked at
/etc/athena/rc.athena and found where it was supposed to be
started. The line was:
/usr/etc/accton /usr/adm/acct
I tried running it by hand:
tla# /usr/etc/accton /usr/adm/acct
accton: No such file or directory
tla# ls -l /usr/adm/acct
/usr/adm/acct: No such file or directory
Oops. I guess that file should exist first.
What should have happened:
Accounting should have been started.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I'm not sure what the best way to fix this is, but my first
thought is to just add a /usr/bin/touch /usr/adm/acct inside the test
for ${ACCOUNT} in /etc/athena/rc.athena
This also seems to be a problem on 7.4 and 7.6 vaxen, although
they peobably need the change in /etc/rc. I haven't checked other
platforms.
