This requires only adding two lines to kernel. If you want to
test it out, get the diffs from
<ftp://iguana.hut.fi/pub/linux/Kernel/process_accounting/experimental/>.
I made the kernel diffs against pre2.0.3, but they should apply
to any kernel having process accounting in it.
The other diffs in that directory are for dumping accounting file
to screen.
(Latest process accounting utilities package is acct_1.3.73.tar.gz
available from URL
<ftp://iguana.hut.fi/pub/linux/Kernel/process_accounting/acct_1.3.73.tar.gz>
or
<http://iguana.hut.fi/ftp/pub/linux/Kernel/process_accounting/acct_1.3.73.tar.gz>.)
