Hi,

is anybody maintaining the BSD process accounting? It's currently
broken since it still uses 16 bit uids :-(

struct acct in <linux/acct.h> contains:
/*
* No binary format break with 2.0 - but when we hit 32bit uid we'll
* have to bite one
*/
__u16 ac_uid; /* Accounting Real User ID */
__u16 ac_gid; /* Accounting Real Group ID */

Andreas
