One of the few problems we have struck is in the accounting command ac When a user logs on via the dial-up lines and goes to slip via sliplogin it is noted by the system but when the same user logs off the ac command still keeps incrementing their online hours. This is cumulative, i.e. if they log on then off ten times the list produced by ac -p indicates the number of hours increasing by one for every six minutes. PS I don't know if this is relavent or not but using the w command does not show any users that may be logged in from the dial-in lines Many thanks in advance, Darren McInnes Archer Technologies
