No clue but a question. I am getting bounced mail refering to these
files so I looked into it. I have 5 files in /var/account/, largest
is 28 bytes. What the hey are they? apropos doesn't have a clue,
rgreppin /usr/doc shows nothing either.
What the heck are they for anyway?
Here are the error msgs
/etc/cron.daily/acct:
mv: /var/account/pacct.4.gz: No such file or directory
mv: /var/account/pacct.1.gz: No such file or directory
mv: /var/account/pacct.0.gz: No such file or directory
mv: /var/account/pacct.new: No such file or directory
Sorry about butting in, but this thread started just after I found the
above.
TIA
