Where is postmaster log? I found a new file in /var/log/pgsql. I put
log_connections = yes and syslog = 2 into my postgresql.conf file and expect
something to happen. Restarted postgresql service on my redhat 7.3 box and
tried a couple of queries with psql utility. Nothing seemed to have been
logged in /var/log/pgsql.

Under /var/lib/pgsql/data, there isn't any new files appearing.

By the way, how do I check to see what kind of options had been used in my
postgresql build?

Thanks
