Hello, I was recently experimenting with the FreeBSD accounting capabilities and was attempting to use the 'ac' command. From the manual page I see that 'ac' reads from the 'wtmp' file in the var directory (sorry I don't recall the default path). The file is nonempty and from looking at it from a binary editor, I can see that it contains the type of information that ac is supposed to give. However whenever I use that 'ac' command (as a regular user or as root), all I ever get is Total 0.00 This doesn't seem right to me. Can anybody explain what might be going wrong? I'm running FreeBSD-2.2.1 on a P133 Canon Innova Book 490CDT. I have a P100 desktop as well running the same FreeBSD version. I'll test it for the same problem tonight. Does this seem to be a bug for which I should go through more formal channels with the FreeBSD development team? Thank You, JM -- Sonya and Jeffrey Metcalf metcalf@XXsnet.net (Please remove the nospam XX above for e-mail replies) http://ruddles.stat.uconn.edu/~jeff
