Mike:

Are you sure you want to do this:

- char ac_pad[10]; /* Accounting Padding Bytes */
+ __u32 ac_uid32; /* Accounting Real 32bit User ID */
+ __u32 ac_gid32; /* Accounting Real 32bit Group ID */
+ char ac_pad[2]; /* Accounting Padding Bytes */

This changes the size of the accounting structure because the new fields
are padded to 4 byte alignment.

Support for process accounting was part of my original patches for 32 bit
UIDs, but it never got picked up. I think that at the time there was an
expectation that accounting was going to be replaced entirely with new
code (SGI accounting stuff?)

Here's an updated version of my patch:
