[LDM #FUT-767365]: LDM file logging

Daniel,

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean by "681" and "682". Are those line 
numbers? Version identifiers?

The "start" command was never intended to have a "-l" option. The only command 
for which a "-l" option makes sense is the "newlog" command.

Configuring the log file of an LDM system requires that you explicitly set a 
runtime configuration variable. Prior to LDM 6.9, that variable is $log_file in 
the ldmadmin(1) configuration-file (~/etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf). Version 6.9 uses 
the registry parameter "/log/file".
