How do you turn lastcomm on?

[Ken Spagnolo]

(sorry if I've missed something obvious here...)
I did a lastcomm and found that the most recent entry was
last week.  Since we haven't been running accounting, I
turned it on, with "accton filename", as the superuser.
Filename is growing, but lastcomm reports nothing new.
(I was told to start accton in the att universe, but
have tried both with no luck).  The man page says little
about where lastcomm gets its info.  Anyone know what
I'm doing wrong?  Thanx.
