Problem Description: 
a customer running accounting is mailed the following error:

	acctcon1: recompile with larger A_TSIZE

you don't need to recompile with a larger A_TSIZE, which indicates
the maximum number of distinct tty and pseudo-tty lines (/dev/ttya,
/dev/ttyh2, /dev/ttypc, etc) used for logins during an accounting
period.  it is actually wrong to do so.  in my customer's case, he
is not using any terminal lines nor even many rlogins.  the entries
are created from such programs as in.uucpd and in.ftpd, which write
entries into wtmp.  these daemons don't really have a tty line when
they come into the system.



INSTALL:

1) login as root
2) mv /usr/etc/in.ftpd /usr/etc/in.ftpd.fcs
3) mv `arch`/{4.1.1,4.1.2}/in.ftpd /usr/etc/in.ftpd
4) chown root.staff /usr/etc/in.ftpd
5) chmod 755 /usr/etc/in.ftpd
6) mv /usr/etc/in.uucpd /usr/etc/in.uucpd.fcs
7) mv `arch`/{4.1.1,4.1.2}/in.uucpd /usr/etc/in.uucpd
8) chown root.staff /usr/etc/in.uucpd
9) chmod 755 /usr/etc/in.uucpd
