Dear friends . I run FreeBSD 3.1 . We know that login.conf has some features like authentication and accounting. and certain programs who are responsible for that feature , will read login.conf.db and look for the features that they are supposed to handle ( They do this search in login.conf.db by login.cap* functions ) Authentiction features are invoked by login and work perfectly . But no program is responsible for accounting features of login.conf ! I got it because in documents of login.conf is written "to enable accounting you should set boolean variable "accounted" " .. So if we say a program will be responsible for accounting section , it will use a login_cap* function with a paramter "accounted" .. Naturally its executable binary must contain this string too . So I typed "grep -R accounted /*" and got no useful result . Now my question is : Is accounting feature of login.conf forgotten ? What should I do ? I really need the options of login.conf accounting part like limiting users time per day , or limiting number of sessions that they can have simultaneously .. I am an admin and asked to set it up and I am in the strip between live and death ;-) Thanks for your answers in advance !!!
