     If the file /usr/adm/tracct is writable, troff keeps photo-
     typesetter accounting records there.  The integrity of that
     file may be secured by making troff a 'set user-id' program.

  FILES
     /tmp/ta*              temporary file
     /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.*  standard macro files
     /usr/lib/term/*       terminal driving tables for nroff
     /usr/lib/font/*       font width tables for troff
     /dev/cat              phototypesetter
     /usr/adm/tracct       accounting statistics for /dev/cat



we do not have a /dev/cat, nor do we do accounting with
/usr/adm/tracct, nor is suid worth much in our environment.
