+ Larger values mean less verbose output. Loglevel 0 (debug) gets
+ really noisy; a value of 1 (info) produces still noisy output,

+ loglevel 2 (notice) indicate normal but significant events
+ while level 3 (warning) logs unexpected events that can be
+ handled. Unhandled error conditions are logged with loglevel
+ 4 (error) and crititcal errors are logged using loglevel 5

+ line options, but before parsing the configuration file. In
+ this case, real/effective/saved UID are all set to the UID
+ of 'name'. As the configuration file is read afterwards,
+ those options that have a default value depending on the UID
+ (e.g. the directory for the configuration file) are computed
+ by using the uid of 'name'. This option has no effect if
