[el5_u5_base] psacct-6.3.2-44.el5.i386

The psacct package contains several utilities for monitoring process
activities, including ac, lastcomm, accton and sa. The ac command
displays statistics about how long users have been logged on. The
lastcomm command displays information about previous executed
commands. The accton command turns process accounting on or off. The
sa command summarizes information about previously executed
commands.

• Wed Nov 13 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-25

  - Added with_last conditional to disable /usr/bin/last because ours is in
    the SysVInit package.  This fixes unpackaged files terminate build prob.

• Thu Aug 22 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-24

  - Fixed initscript reload/restart by creating start/stop functions and
    making everything use them (#72261)

• Tue Aug 06 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-23

  - Excludearch ia64, not taking the time to debug/troubleshoot random
    buildsystem failure due to higher priorities.

• Mon Jul 08 2002 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

  - Take the time to make sure things get through on all archs, by simply
    running it through the build system.

• Fri Jun 21 2002 Tim Powers <timp@redhat.com>

  - automated rebuild

• Thu May 23 2002 Tim Powers <timp@redhat.com>

  - automated rebuild

• Wed Mar 27 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-19

  - Made initscript touch/chmod accounting file if it is not present during
    startup, to ensure accounting works properly when enabled.

• Tue Mar 26 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-18

  - Fixed duh in initscript pointing to wrong accounting file (#61939)

• Sun Mar 17 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-17

  - Removed the files usracct and savacct, which are not used by psacct
    utilities at all, but by the sa program.  Our sa uses files in a different
    location, and so these files are unused and unnecessary.

• Sat Mar 16 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-16

  - Added chkconfig to post and preun scripts for bug (#61191)

• Tue Mar 12 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-15

  - Added new feature - psacct initscript now controls process accounting so
    that it is not just forced on if installed as was the previous behaviour
  - Modified the initscripts package to not force psacct on anymore and made
    the new psacct-6.3.2-15 conflict with previous initscripts packages.
  - Fixed logrotate config to set perms/owner of new log files, and closed
    bug (#54165)

• Thu Mar 07 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-14

  - Fixed 64bit bug in calls to ctime() in lastcomm and dump-utmp (#60712)

• Wed Mar 06 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-13

    flag, and fixed bug (#60716)

• Thu Feb 28 2002 Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> 6.3.2-12

  - rebuild in new environment for FHS correctness

• Thu Jan 31 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-11

  - Conditionalized acct-6.3.2-config.patch to only be applied for RHL 7.x
    builds, as it breaks FHS compliance by putting files in nonstandard
    locations.  Also fixed up other places in specfile for FHS 2.2.
  - Added acct-6.3.2-I-HATE-GNU-AUTOCONK.patch because I hate GNU autoconk
    really really badly.
    
  - Bumped to -11 to avoid buildsystem stupidness

• Thu Sep 06 2001 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-9

  - Fixed bug (#53307) psacct is enabled by default, and the log files
    are huge, and will fill the disk up very quickly.  logrotate will
    now compress them daily.

• Sat Sep 01 2001 Florian La Roche <Florian.LaRoche@redhat.de> 6.3.2-8

  - do not fail for ENOSYS to silently support kernels without
    process accounting
