[comp.sys.mips] accounting file shutoff - how to prevent?

I think this is probably an easy question, but I'm not sure where to
look for the answer.  At least, I haven't found it yet.

The accounting file /usr/adm/acct holds process accounting records.
However, when it reaches a size of 2560000 bytes, accounting stops
until I run sa -s.  Since I run a lot of nntpsends (i.e., each minute,
to several other systems), /usr/adm/acct reaches that size *daily*, so
I lose information.

How do I lift the size limit, or remove the limit entirely?
