The ocd (outbound connection daemon) is a daemon that got started for each DTC (datacom and terminal controller) port that is open. This utility is called DDFA (DTC Device File Access Utilities). The document that Steve pointed out explains what it is quite well.

The way DDFA works (outbound or printer connections) ia that when a process/daemon called "ocd" is started it acts as a pipe by taking data written to the device file and passing it to the DTC and taking data from the DTC and passing it to the device file. The device file definition is in the file /etc/ddfs/dp.

The "ocd" messages that you get in syslog.log may just be a log for ech open connection. If yoususpect it's an error log can you post it here.

Tip for the future: Try "man -k keyword", i.e. in this case "man -k ocd". That would have pointed you to th ocd(1M) manual page, which points you to the DDFA software, DTC, etc..
