+# This is the file to log to.  If this is not configured,
+# then it will log to the syslog.
+#
+# Not that the -d <level> switch will control the log verbosity.
+# By default, it runs at log level 1.  Log level 9 will churn
+# out scads of useless debugging information.  Values in between
+# will vary the amount of logging you get.
