As far as I can tell, accounting is handled inside the kernel.
However, /etc/athena/newsyslog doesn't seem to deal with /usr/adm/acct
correctly.
newsyslog -r -n
with a large /usr/adm/acct echos mv commands, but there is no
indication that the previously opened file is not still being used for
logging. In fact, it looks like I've got one acct file per reboot
rather than one per 100K (with the appropriate line in my
newsyslog.conf).
I expect /usr/etc/sa is needed to deal with accounting files
correctly. (I vaguely remember something like this coming up a couple
of years ago... Is this a known bug?)
