When setting logfile-only on, slapd still logs its startup message to syslog:
Oct 29 21:07:47 u18test slapd[18534]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.6.0 (Oct 29 2021 05:12:17) $#012#011openldap
Sure, it hasn't read the config yet.
This is useful information to have consolidated into the specified logfile. Note that:
617c62a3.16f03fdb 0x7f9325ed67c0 slapd starting
does make it to the logfile. However, it would be useful to have the build date and version in the specified logfile.
Or you could just run slapd -V to get it again.
