This knob removes the tools that are exclusively used to view and
maintain the databases maintained by utmpx, namely last, users, who,
wtmpcvt, ac, lastlogin and utxrm.
The tool w is not in this list, because it has some other functionality
which is unrelated to utmpx; it is hardlinked to the uptime tool.
The WITHOUT_ACCT switch is supposed to omit tools related to process
accounting, namely accton and sa. ac(8) is just a simple tool that
prints statistics based on data in the utx.log database. It has nothing
to do with the former.

This ensures that tight permissions set in /etc/newsyslog.conf for

All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8). Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.
It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.
The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

The only change in the default functionality should be that
the output reports are slightly more verbose WRT files deleted.

let it rotate /var/log/wtmp again, and update monthly/200.accounting to
take this into account. (Some sites might want to change the parameters
of the rotation; it's easier to do this when it's all centralized in
newsyslog.conf.)
