The file /var/account/acct is written to directly by the kernel. This allows you to use the commands lastcomm(1) and sa(8) for process accounting. It usualy isn't a problem, because the file size is kept at bay by /etc/periodic/daily/310.accounting If you choose, you can turn of process accounting all together with either accton(8) or accounting_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf -Paul.
