Summary: Turning process accounting on

[r.rekha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,

	The problem was with the ownership & permission on the
/var/adm/pacct file.
	The owner and group of this file should be "adm". And the permission
to be set to "0664".

	Now turn on process accounting using the foll command:

	#/usr/sbin/acct/accton /var/adm/pacct

Hi,

	Though process accounting is on and /var/adm/pacct exists, lastcomm
command gives me an "No information available. Accounting may be turned
off" messages.
	When i try to manually start accounting ie. by giving turnacct on, i
receive the foll message.

	accton: uid/gid not adm

	What does this mean. How do i make "lastcomm" work?

Rekha
