It appears I forgot to add local0.none on the /var/log/messages line in
/etc/syslog.conf. Once added it logs only to /var/log/pgsql.

Strange though ... when I changed "local0" to "pgsql" in /etc/syslog.conf and
/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf the logging stopped completely. Works with
local0 though. Anyhow

Thanks
