The problem with doing this is that in general INN programs openlog()
before they read inn.conf and report errors in reading inn.conf via
syslog. That's often handy to have. Plus, inndstart reports security
violations to syslog, and inn.conf in that case is under the control of
the user running it rather than the system.
