How could a non privileged user have logged into a system and logged
out without a corresponding accounting record being written? Will
hanging up the phone accomplish this? How about STOP/ID=0?
This is sorta scary, because accounting records are often used to
track security related issues on systems. I only know this particular
user was logged in because his last login date in his UAF record
says so, and he edited some of his files.
By the way, the system did not crash or anything like that.
Thanks for any info,
-Bob

I know accounting is funny in that image activation records are
not written to disk immediately, but process termination records
should be. I assume the user could not have done a "run/noaccounting".
Things to check (I guess): have you only one version of the
accountng.dat file? Was the last login in the uaf interactive?
I don't know about the stop/id=0 (stop.exe??)

Neither STOP/ID=0, nor hanging up, nor anything else should prevent the process termination record from being written. You've either got (a) some problem in the way you rsystem is set up, such as the multiple accounting file possibility mentioned earlier; (b) a bug; (c) a hacker. -- Jerry | |||||

I've seen this happen before when the disk system disk became full.
After a message from JOBCTL on the console the accounting will be
disabled. If the disk becomes free again, the accounting won't be
restarted.
