Problem: Accton(8) fails

I am having problems getting the accounting cluster to work on my Sun
386i. Here's what I did (as superuser):

	# cd /var/adm
	# cat > acct
	^D
	# ls -l acct
	-rw-rw-r--  1 root            0 Mar 19 13:00 acct
	# /usr/etc/accton /var/adm/acct
	accton: Invalid argument

I tried any number of variations on the argument to accton; even omitting
it altogether (and forcing the default) fails with the same message.

Note:
      - The /usr/include/sys/acct.h file is there.
      - /usr/etc/sa "works" to the extent that it can without
        a file to operate on.
