 procees accounting was not in the original Net-2 distribution. I see from
 the NetBSD 0.9 announcement that they have implemented process accounting.
 Seperately I have implemented process accounting and most of the stats
 used in the rusage structure (read using getrusage()).

 Nate has a copy of my kernel changes (and I don't know if he tried it because
 he has been busy). I have a start of the sa program that I used to test the
 kernel code, but was hoping to pick up an existing copy.

 I also have not looked at FreeBSD (for lack of disk space) to see if the
 changes I made will simply move over from a patched 0.1. Maybe Nate is
 in a better position to say if they would go cleanly into FreeBSD.
 
 If this found useful and clean, I am certainly willing to share my files
 for process accounting.
