Re: [PATCH] Fix acct quoting in audit_log_acct_message())

The 2 byte penalty might have had weight in 1970, but not in 2007. If we're really arguing over how many bytes a record consumes then we should switch to a binary protocol instead of text. Oh and by the way, in a binary protocol you would likely prefix string data with a length field, so you're going to end up using a couple of bytes anyway. -- John Dennis <jdennis(a)redhat.com&gt;
