                     11: .I Implogd
                     12: is program which logs messages from the IMP,
                     13: placing them in the file
                     14: .IR /usr/adm/implog .
                     15: .PP
                     16: Entries in the file are variable length.  Each log
                     17: entry has a fixed length header of the form:

                     29: .PP
                     30: followed, possibly, by the message received from the 
                     31: IMP.  Each time the logging process is started up it
                     32: places a time stamp entry in the file (a header with
                     33: .I sin_len
                     34: field set to 0).
                     35: .PP
                     36: The logging process will catch only those message from
                     37: the IMP which are not processed by a protocol module,
                     38: e.g. IP.  This implies the log should contain only
                     39: status information such as ``IMP going down'' messages
                     40: and, perhaps, stray NCP messages.

                     44: .SH BUGS
                     45: The messages should probably be sent to the system error
                     46: logging process instead of maintaining yet another log file.
