I'm not sure how it looks on your system, but on mine (FreeBSD 6.1,
PG 8.1 from ports), the default in postgresql.conf is to send
everything to a number of syslog facilities with the ident 'postgres'.

Anyway, I haven't messed with any of these settings, and I get
everything in messages, but you should be able to do this by adding a
line like this to syslog.conf:

postgres.* /var/log/postgresql

I think that will send everything from postgre to that one file. As
for splitting it up into multiple files, you'd have to do stuff like

postgres.error /var/log/postgresql/errors
postgres.fatal /var/log/postgresql/fatal
postgres.notice ... etc.

hope that helps,
Neal
