acct (6.6.4-9) unstable; urgency=medium

  The settings that used to be defined in /etc/default/acct to control
  enablement and log rotation for process accounting are no longer used.

  ACCT_ENABLE was already ignored by the systemd integration but now it
  is ignored in all cases and, when required, the service should be disabled
  directly with the service manager using update-rc.d acct disable.

  Process accounting files are now rotated by logrotate. Rotation is
  configured in /etc/logrotate.d/acct and ACCT_LOGGING is ignored.

acct (6.6.4-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  The login accounting tool 'ac' is no longer effective on Debian systems
  since trixie because of the transition from recording system login records
  in /var/log/wtmp to the wtmpdb database. The tools in this package only
  understand login records in the utmp(5) format used for /var/log/wtmp and
  not wtmpdb databases. They can still be used for forensic purposes
  against files from systems that do store utmp-format logs.

  The process accounting capabilities of this package are still functional.

  It is recommended to install the 'wtmpdb' and 'libpam-wtmpdb' packages for
  login accounting on the running system.
