I've confirmed /var/log/wtmp exists and is growing with each login, and tried every command line option including specifying /var/log/wtmp on the cmd line with the -w switch. Results are either a single total of 0.00 or no console output at all. As for 'sa', I issued 'accton /var/account/acct' to start accounting, and the file starts to grow. But, sa never produces any console output. My apologies in advance if I'm sounding stupid, but these have worked for me on other platforms without trouble. Any thoughts appreciated.
