default configuration and systemd results in duplicate log messages

Wouter, this is amazingly fast ;-)

Thanks for the report, I added the option log-only-syslog, that you can enable. That should solve the duplicate log item issue. I do not want to change the default log outputs, because other users may depend on it. So this new item allows to choose between log both syslog and stderr, log to only the logfile (with the logfile option) or log only to syslog with the added log-only-syslog: yes option.

Before syslog takes effect, in the startup sequence, it uses stderr still. This is only when errors cause failure, mostly. But because syslog is not opened yet, that would only print to stderr and thus also no duplicates.
