Wouldn't it make more sense to set the configuration file to
start as daemon, and override *that* setting on the command
line with -f ?  

I'd think the most reasonnable way to use the configuration
file would be to get all the settings right so you can start
the daemon with a simple sslh -F /etc/sslh.conf rather than
add command lines in the start-up script (otherwise, what's
the benefit of the configuration file? you may as well
specify everything in the script over the command line).
