Update to avoid a conflict with an internal perl function. Needed when updating to new perl version. The patch also includes small pacct fix. NOTE: If an OpeniT server resides on the same host, patch #399 must be installed together with patch #398.
This patch adds an additional configuration parameter PACCT_OFFSET to /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg which can be used to tune the timing of pacct data collection. This parameter takes an offset value (in seconds) that will be added to the default collection times specified by PACCT_RESTART. E.g PACCT_RESTART 86400 PACCT_OFFSET 7200 will make pacct be collected once every 24 hours. The collection is shifted 2 hours + a random offset (1-3600 seconds) after midnight. The random offset is not configurable and is intended to help prevent all clients from trying to transfer data at the same time.
Extended pacct: End time as calculated from ps output is checked not to be in far future. The log message given when a field in the ps output it too wide, is now a debug message, not a warning. This will reduce the number of monips entries in syslog.

Unpack tar file in e.g /tmp/patch on the Open iT client. Do the following as root: cd /tmp/patch ./patch.pl
