I'm trying to start up good old fashioned Unix accounting on network of
Seven SparcStations.  The network consists of Six Clients (small local
disks on each mahine) and a server with about 650 Meg.  I also have access
to a large amound of disk from a local server.  

The problem is I can't find any documentation on accounting in all of
Sun's manuals.  (How much did I pay for all of these books -- and they
didn't even have binders!)  The book by Evi Nemeth is somewhat helpful,
but it looks like Sun does things differently e.g. I can't where the adm
login fits into the scheme of things.  

If anybody could help me out through email, phone, or by letting me look
at their crontab, /usr/adm/acct, etc. I'ld really appreciate it.  I'm
having a devil of a time getting things figured out.  

Are there any good books on the topic??????
