>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD-current

>Description:

	It's rather pointless to do login accounting in /etc/monthly when
	newsyslog is rotating wtmp files on a weekly basis.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Use the default installation

>Fix:
	
	do it in /etc/weekly on the second latest wtmp file, or find a
        reliable way of synchronising newsyslog with the weekly|monthly
	crontab entries. (note: there is no support in newsyslog for
	strictly monthly rotations).
