This is how trillian_log_signer is being started:
ExecStart=/var/sigsum/sigsum/go/bin/trillian_log_signer \
--force_master \

(The password exposure issue is being tracked in sigsum/admin/ansible#27.)
Are these harmless debug messages/informational messages? Can they be disabled by setting log level?
