Actually, Marty's right--the equals is required.  My bad for mis-typing 
it, but glad that Marty got the idea (and/or used the man 
pages/google/whatever to fix my typo).

However, if lircd doesn't have a --logfile option it simply means that 
LIRC was compiled with syslog support (so the logfile is the system 
log).  So, to get a specific logfile for LIRC, you need to recompile 
LIRC without syslog support.
