Can someone help Michal?  I sez that the sys-admin need not install
the BSD environment (when he's installing SR10) to have the /etc/accton
facility.  Because I have not install SR10, I'm not sure why Michal
couldn't find /etc/accton.

  Well, there does not seem to be anything like /etc/accton.
I came across a three-program accounting env. You have one process
sitting in the background and collecting info every X sec. Ther other
program signals new users on the system and when users log off.
The program was written by Scott (..) from Apollo. The program is
unsupported. Is that you have meant by /etc/accton. ?
Furthermore, running the above mentioned program couses a 20 fold
slowdown, not an acceptable trade-off.

  Well, I'll look around for the /etc/accton but no clue as to where
it can be.
  Thanks for you input.
