Hi all,

        The problem was with the ownership & permission on the
/var/adm/pacct file.
        The owner and group of this file should be "adm". And the permission
to be set to "0664".

        Now turn on process accounting using the foll command:

        #/usr/sbin/acct/accton /var/adm/pacct

Hi,

        Though process accounting is on and /var/adm/pacct exists, lastcomm
command gives me an "No information available. Accounting may be turned
off" messages.
        When i try to manually start accounting ie. by giving turnacct on, i
receive the foll message.

        accton: uid/gid not adm

        What does this mean. How do i make "lastcomm" work?

Regards,
Rekha
