Re: using syslog to capture RAISE notices

I compiled with the default FreeBSD install:

CONFIGURE_ARGS= --enable-locale --enable-syslog --with-CXX \
--docdir=${PREFIX}/share/doc --with-
libdir=${LOCALBASE}/lib \
--with-includes=${LOCALBASE}/include

What's this Use_syslog? Is that a user configurable item?
I am seeing nothing in syslog. The raise is working:

test=# CREATE FUNCTION test() returns int8 AS '
test'# BEGIN
test'# raise DEBUG \'this is dan raising a notice\';
test'# RETURN 1;
test'# END
test'# ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
CREATE
test=# select test();
test
------
1
(1 row)

test=#
