What version of ULTRIX are you running? At the University of Wisconsin,
we are running 1.3 on MicroVaxII's and it is VERY compativle with our 4.3Betta
and 4.2 releases. I did a "grep ac_utime /usr/include/sys/acct.h" and it
showed "comp_t ac_utime; /*...*/". Of course the comment was there.
Perhaps you got a bad or out-of-date version of ULTRIX? Don't get me
wrong, I don't normally defend corporate giants, but I think you are to
quick to judge in this case. At U of W, we keep ALL of our source on 1
750 and compile and distribute it to our (~100+) vaxen with NO problems.
