Some people have /var/log/messages, others have each daemon or each
daemon user log to a different place.

If systemd is running as init (pid 1), I don't know how to set this
(must have something to do with the kernel, but I can't find it in my
grub.cfg, so I guess it's buried in the initrd), but basically the
setting is to run

                     systemd --log-target=syslog

This is what worries me:

    COLOPHON
       This index contains 1621 entries in 14 sections, referring to 177
       individual manual pages.

    systemd 215                                         SYSTEMD.DIRECTIVES(7)

Scary, isn't it?  This isn't reassuring, either:

One wonders why people like "poma" bother to answer questions at
all....
