I thought this would be avoided by moving the bcopy to u_comm out of the ACCT define in /usr/sys/sys/acct.c and always defining u_comm in user.h, but some still show up. For example, a person could be running w and he'd show up as (). Does anyone know why this is happening and how to get the command/args filled in more often? Thanks.
