I did the implementation and I'd see no problem with FreeBSD using it. I did not write the man page though, so you'd have to check in the NetBSD tree for ac.8 and whether you can use it - or write your own. I have not updated my system since before ac(8) was incorporated into the tree so can't tell you the answer to that. NetBSD's ac(8) is compatible with SunOS 4.0 at least in that it can produce the same results from the same wtmp file as ac on my sun386i. The new ac has some (IMHO) useful new features, in that you can tell it to only do accouting for certain tty's or to exclude certain tty's I use: ac -p -t 'tty0*' > modems ac -p -t '!tty0*' > others in my monthly accounting script to ``charge'' modem logins at a different rate to others. -- Simon J.
