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

/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.
