Confirms my observation. I'll explicitly point it out in the docs.
To be clear: the olcLogFile description states explicitly that it only affects
debug messages. But when olcLogFileOnly is set, then all messages that would be
generated according to the current olcLogLevel will go to the logfile (instead
of syslog).
IMO all of this is a stupid hack, but it was done at a customer's request. Even
though they could have just used -s0 and been done with it. Now the code is
more complex and the behavior description must be expanded as well. Idiocy that
we'll be stuck with forever after.
