Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: acct
Neither the acct(2) system call nor the accton(8) program provided by
acct-6.3.99+6.4pre1 create the accounting file, causing no accounting
information to be written.
The simplest fix is to add a touch command to /etc/init.d/acct:
--- acct-6.3.99+6.4pre1/debian/init.d 2007-01-26 11:09:25.000000000 +0100
+++ /etc/init.d/acct 2007-01-26 11:05:53.000000000 +0100
@@ -26,6 +26,7 @@
set +e
echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
+ touch "$ACCT_LOGFILE"
/usr/sbin/accton "$ACCT_LOGFILE" 2>/dev/null
rv=$?
