Default permissions on the /var/account/acct file (and copies of it rotated
by periodic daily scripts) are changed from 0644 to 0640 because the file
contains sensitive information that should not be world-readable. If the
/var/account directory must be created by rc.d/accounting, the mode used is
now 0750. Admins who use the accounting feature are encouraged to change
the mode of an existing /var/account directory to 0750 or 0700.
