Re: Postgres logs to syslog LOCAL0

I tested LOCAL5 here and got lines like:

Oct 14 08:41:06 candle postgres[8668]: [1-1] LOG: duration: 1.210 ms
statement: select 100;

I don't see any SELECT: entry in there. In fact, SELECT: is coming from
syslog, not from PostgreSQL. We only generate the stuff after the
closing ].
