Where is the log files?

Hi.

I have some daemons in rc.conf that [FAILED] on boot. Arch boots so fast that i can't tell wich deamon who fails. I've been searching in /var/log but I'm not able to find a logfile that contains those errors.

It's also very easy to compare the list in /var/run/daemons and the one in rc.conf. You can see immediately which ones are running (a status file present in /var/run/daemons) and which aren't.

Also, daemon errors are in /var/log/daemon.log
