I sent email to support@livingston.com a few days ago. Back before
Livingston started signing accounting packets, I took Ascend's accounting
daemon and modified it to log unsigned/missigned packets, but not reject
them. Lately there has been very little in the logs.

Now, all of our PM3s running b20 are filling the log with signature
errors. b17 does not have this problem.

For now I had to comment out the code that checks the signature, since the
filesystem was filling up 1MB/hr, and that filesystem is not designed to
handle large logs.
