Took a while for me to figure out what the ONLY thing meant. I changed

# Log file to use for error messages, instead of sending them to syslog.
# /dev/stderr can be used to log into stderr.
Just ignore the stderr thing.

Changed to:
# Log file to use for informational and debug messages.
# Default is the same as log_path.
Informational messages are mostly things like "user logged in", "user
logged out".
