I noticed today the following entries in my dmesg.

#v+
Accounting enabled
Accounting disabled
Accounting enabled
Accounting disabled
Accounting enabled
Accounting disabled
Accounting enabled
#v-

The uname -a follows.

FreeBSD NAStie 9.0-BETA1 FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 #0: Thu Jul 28 16:34:16 UTC 2011     root at obrian.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

I tracked the actual messages down to /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_acct.c, but
am not familiar enough with kernel internals to figure out why its
happening.  It *looks* like its happening every time I reboot the system
(been playing around with the power).  However, I want to be sure, and
figured I'd check with the list.

So - are these messages something to be concerned about?  Or something
to ignore?  Or something to ignore in a BETA environment, and not in a
production environment?
