Without the -S, you need to put it in the background explicitly, along
with redirecting stdout and stderr.
Try:
(as root) touch /var/log/postgresql.log
(as root) chown postgres.postgres /var/log/postgresql.log
(as postgres):
postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql 2>&1 >> /var/log/postgresql.log &
And see if that helps.
