Hi,

I've noticed that, even though I specified LOCAL5 as syslog facility, postgres
nevertheless logs _some_ events to LOCAL0.
Log lines look like:
Oct 14 08:55:02 pavenlo  root palga [local] SELECT: [17-1] LOG:  duration: \
2953.658 ms  statement: select rapnaam from udps where ((geboortedatum = \
'1954-01-21') and (naamman ~ '^thie'))
Oct 14 08:55:02 pavenlo  root palga [local] SELECT: [17-2]  limit 1000

(It's a bit messy). Anyway, the essentila difference is the SELECT: entry
which is not present in regular logging to LOCAL5.
These events are _not_ reported in LOCAL5.

Because it's shorter that a complet postgresql.conf,here's the diff against
 /usr/share/pgsql/postgresql.conf.sample, from postgresql-8.0.3-1PGDG for RH9.

Have I missed something ?

Cheers,

Han Holl
