  12         Larger values mean less verbose output. Loglevel 1 (debug) gets
  13         really noisy; a value of 2 (info) produces still noisy output,
  14         but this won't fill up the disk quicky. Messaged logged with
  15         loglevel 3 (notice) indicate normal but significant events
  16         while level 4 (warning) logs unexpected events that can be
  17         handled. Unhandled error conditions are logged with loglevel
  18         5 (error) and crititcal errors are logged using loglevel 6
  19         (crit).  Finally, loglevel 7 (emerg) is reserved for messages

  55         can drop the root privileges right after parsing the command
  56         line options, but before parsing the configuration file. In
  57         this case, real/effective/saved UID are all set to the UID
  58         of 'name'. As the configuration file is read afterwards,
  59         those options that have a default value depending on the UID
  60         (e.g. the directory for the configuration file) are computed
  61         by using the uid of 'name'.  This option has no effect if
  62         para_server is started as a non-root user (i.e.  EUID != 0)
