To: stable@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 1 Apr 1998 09:14:19 -0600 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hello! Sorry f this is already known. I've just found that the standard accounting implemented in FreeBSD 2.2.5-Release (and early February -stable) has a bug (or a feature ?). I was logged in for many days (over a half a month), and still logged in, but in the monthly accounting report my username was not included at all even though the current session was not the only one. (This was not the case for 2.1-stable box - there it should my username, though with probably slightly lower usage time, I didn't check it - may be it didn't count the last 2-week lasting session). While writing I realized what is the reason for such strange behavior - the wtmpx file was turned over. with 2.1-* - it was not turned over until the 1st of the next month.
