For the records, if syslogd is not running, the syslog output goes to
the Windows event log, which also maintains timestamps.

The service log files created in /var/log only contain the stdout and
stderr output of the services.

Switching on syslogd will not redirect stdout/stderr output to syslogd,
but only the syslog output.

But usually this doesn't matter since "real" services are logging the
important stuff to the syslog anyway and stdout/stderr is only used
for debugging output.
