Description:   Opened: 2005-01-26 19:26 0000 
recompiling with no optimizations did not fix the problem.

BSD style accounting and V3 are turned on in the kernel (2.6.11-rc1-mm1).

Old redhat bug (1999!) suggests this may be a problem re: sys/acct.h vs linux/acct.h, but after messing with the source to switch from one to the other the code compiled but the same problem remained.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on BSD style accounting and V3 of that in the kernel
2. # emerge acct
3. # /etc/init.d/acct start
4. # lastcomm
Actual Results:

Looks like a bug, not a vulnerability. Reassigning...

It's not a bug. You just need a patched version of the acct utilities to read
the new v3 file format. Check out:
http://www.physik3.uni-rostock.de/tim/kernel/utils/acct/

This version should be included to portage (maybe masked).  
Works for me.

I've put an -r1 build into CVS, that uses the new upstream version for the v3
accounting file format.
