[el5_latest] psacct-6.3.2-44.0.2.el5.x86_64

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.

    the SysVInit package.  This fixes unpackaged files terminate build prob.

• Fri Aug 23 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)

• Wed Aug 07 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-23

    buildsystem failure due to higher priorities.

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

  - automated rebuild

• Fri May 24 2002 Tim Powers <timp@redhat.com>

  - automated rebuild

• Thu Mar 28 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.

• Wed Mar 27 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-18

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

• Mon Mar 18 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.

• Sun Mar 17 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-16

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

• Wed Mar 13 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)

• Fri Mar 08 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-14

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

• Thu Mar 07 2002 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 6.3.2-13

    flag, and fixed bug (#60716)

• Fri Mar 01 2002 Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> 6.3.2-12

  - rebuild in new environment for FHS correctness

• Fri Feb 01 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

• Fri Sep 07 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.

• Sun Sep 02 2001 Florian La Roche <Florian.LaRoche@redhat.de> 6.3.2-8

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