While we are at it: the current sizeof(struct acct) is 52. I think it would be nice to round it up to a nice power of 2 (64 or 128). Sometimes (after a crash) fsck likes to set the file size based on the number of blocks - most likely not a multiple of 52, and it confuses the accounting tools. Some padding (just in case we want to add something later) would be nice too.
One more idea for accounting: log the device/inode of the executable. Sometimes more reliable than the command name (which the user can change to anything by creating a link to the program).
