It should say acct_process(9), but we don't have a man page for it
(yet).

A dangling reference is much better than the current incorrect and
confusing wording.  Please, can you fix it?

Modified Files:
src/share/man/man5: acct.5

Log Message:
PR/58515: Kouichi Hashikawa: Sync with the header file

I notice that the man page says:

   ... If a process terminates, and accounting is enabled, the kernel
   calls the acct(2) function call to prepare and append the record to the
   accounting file.

which doesn't make any sense to me, as acct(2) is a syscall that is
called by superuser once to enable accounting.  Any ideas what it's
meant to be said here?
