  Sac version 1.7 has been released to sunsite and should appear at:

  ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Admin/login/sac-1.7.tgz

  or the latest can always be found at it's home site:

  ftp://mama.indstate.edu/linux/sac/sac-1.7.tgz

  Sac is a system administration utility, based on the original BSD ac
program, to read the wtmp log (and radius and tacacs accounting logs) and
produce more human readable system usage information than provided by last.
Several features not found in the BSD version of this program have been
added.

  This version fixes mostly bugs in the previous release as well as adds
more functionality and improves glibc compatibility.  Here are the changes
from 1.6:

  - Fixed error in rawtmp where it could get stuck in an infinite loop.
  - Changed formatting of -p option to nicely format up to 16 character
    usernames (for glibc) > 16 character usernames will still screw up
    formatting.
  - Fixed error in do_reboot() where usr was not being moved forward to
    avoid problems with the clipping logic, which caused segmentation faults
    on glibc machines.
  - Excluded users (via -x) will not be accounted for even if listed by the
    -u command.
  - Added support for reading lists of users, excluded users, ttys and host
    names from files if the file name is preceded with a '@' sign.
    (i.e. sac -apm @/path/to/userlist)
  - Add support for wildcards with the -R option to select multiple
    portmasters more easily. (i.e. sac -apm -R "*")
  - Stops processing logs and reports what it has when it hits major time
    corruption --  to avoid endlessly processing corrupted logs.
  - Added fixterm.c curtesy of Thomas Roessler.
  - Moved fixterm.c and fixtime.c into fixers subdir with their own Makefile.
  - Added -a option (show contents of ut_addr field) to rawtmp.

  I would like to also thank all those who have contributed to sac's
development.  This program would not be what it is without the considerable
input I have received.

                                                                - Steve
