tcplogd and iplogger are used to log connection attempts to your computer.
There are known security problems related to it. It's probably not a good
thing to run under any circumstances. You should uninstall it and replace
it with ippl, which does about the same thing, but in a more sane way.
Since you're running slink, you should get the ippl sources from potato if
you want to run it.
