[fa.info-vax] VAXcluster accounting files

	Can someone running a Homogenous VAXcluster (i.e. multiple systems
running off of a shared system disk) tell me whether it has a single
accounting file (SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT) for all the systems or is
this one of the files that goes in the specific area for each system.
--Thanks in advance, Thomas Linscomb aka linscomb@ut-ngp.ARPA

Separate accounting files (SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSMGR]ACCOUNTNG.DAT).

Note that the accounting record format (Accounting Utility Reference Manual,
Appendix A) has no field that identifies the VAXcluster node associated
with a record. A shared accounting file wouldn't be very useful without this
information.
