A new acct(5) format is imminent. If you want to maintain access
to your accounting files, use the new lastcomm(1) -X functionality to
export them into text format, and keep around a copy of the lastcomm
binary. An updated lastcomm(1) program will allow you to import
the text files into the new acct(5) format. The change will also
invalidate the condensed summary files /var/account/savacct and
/var/account/usracct. If your process accounting system relies
on them, you will need to save their contents in a readable format
before the switch.

The new trunk(4) driver has been renamed to lagg(4) as it better
reflects its purpose. ifconfig will need to be recompiled.
