[comp.sys.next] System accouting.

bz08+@andrew.cmu.edu (Brian Allan Zimmerman) (04/27/91)

I have been examining some of the accouting about user login times and
printer usage and daily, monthly reports, etc.  Currently I have been
only able to get the printer accouting to work properly.  I cannot find
any reference in the documentation concerning these issues.  True, this
is more of a unix question, but I am interested to know why this is the
case.  The user accounting does work (ac) but it only lists those users
who have brought up a terminal.  Users who only log into the window
server are not recorded.  This seems odd to me.  Could someone please
respond as to why this is the case and perhaps how these other
accounting steps can be implemented.

This is a standalone system, but I am just interested.  By the way it is
a Color NeXTstation obviously running 2.1 if that matters.

Thanks.
