[tac_plus] Accounting difficulties

I have been working with the latest build of tac_plus distributed on  
your website. I have been successful at getting everything working  
(includeing ACL support which is why I chose this version in the first  
place) except for accounting. I was using the Ubuntu distribution  
previously and with the accounting directive in the configuration  
file, things just worked:
accounting file = /var/log/tac-plus/accounting
Under the current version:
root at nms221:/usr/local/tacacs+-F4.0.4.18# /usr/local/tacacs/bin/ 
tac_plus -v
tac_plus version F4.0.4.18
ACLS
FIONBIO
LIBWRAP
LINUX
LITTLE_ENDIAN
LOG_DAEMON
PAM
NO_PWAGE
REAPCHILD
RETSIGTYPE RETSIGTYPE
SHADOW_PASSWORDS
SIGTSTP
SIGTTIN
SIGTTOU
SO_REUSEADDR
STRERROR
TAC_PLUS_PORT
UENABLE
__STDC__

I cannot seem to get it working again. I have tried building with a  
specific entry for the accounting file when I run configure prior to  
building:
--with-acctfile=/var/log/tac-plus/account

With our without this entry and despite what is in the configuration  
file, nothing ever gets written to the accounting log file.

I am not sure what else to supply. Any help would be greatly  
appreciated.
