           Summary: acct() in userland doesnt seem to work right.
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

I have been coding a client to the acct kernel system call, all this works fine
but. When i ship the package to my ubuntu server i noticed some strange things 

Debian:

# jatx
<0x0> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:08:16 2005:jatx
<0x1> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:08:17 2005:jatx
<0x2> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:08:20 2005:jatx
<0x3> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:09:01 2005:sed
<0x4> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:09:01 2005:maxlifetime
<0x5> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:09:01 2005:maxlifetime
<0x6> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:09:01 2005:sh
<0x7> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:09:01 2005:find
<0x8> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:09:01 2005:xargs
<0x9> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:09:01 2005:sh
<0xa> +root:Sun Nov 20 21:09:01 2005:cron

Ubuntu:

<0x0> +unknown:<n/a>:\uffff
<0x1> +unknown:<n/a>:\uffff
<0x2> +unknown:<n/a>:\uffff

This indictated that eigther there is a problem in the kernel with acct() or
read(). 
The source of the package (jatx) can be found on http://cvs.anircd.com.
