Have you added the required lines to /etc/syslog.conf? (Yes, I know I
haven't thoroughly documented that. Working on it.).

It _is_ documented in the archives -- do a search on '/etc/syslog.conf'.

The short of it is to add:
local0.* /var/log/postgresql
to syslog.conf.

It _will_ be better documented in the final 7.1 RPM's -- once I get it
working again on my development machine. More important was to get the
thing packaged again for the first release.

The syslog.conf lines are not automatically inserted, due to the 'Do No
Harm' principle. Which, incidentally, is why I try to get upgrading
working somewhat reasonably.
