I just talked to Fahad about this and it seems to be like this:
As long as syslog is not running we won't have any logged output,
neither to console nor somewhere else (when hipd is running in
background mode of course).
As soon as syslog starts output will be logged again.
So I guess the question is the following: do we want to have logged
output in any case so we start the daemons after syslog or do we not
care and start regardless of it?
