Starting accounting

[Raghu Machiraju]

I have a Sun-3/260 running SunOS 4.0.3 and I would like to start
accounting. The /etc/rc file has the lines
		if [ -f /var/adm/acct ]; then
			accton /var/adm/acct ; echo ( --- etc ---
		fi
However I could never get accounting started. Trying to use the
command accton outside /etc/rc did not yield success, since I 
got invalid option on accton /var/adm/acct.  "/var/adm/acct"
is indeed a file and not a directory on the machine in question.
Any help shall be appreciated.  Please send mail raghu at timbaktu.osc.edu.
