You are right about this:

I'll show you my configuration:

postgresql.conf:
#
#       Syslog
#
#ifdef ENABLE_SYSLOG
syslog = 1 # range 0-2
syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0'
syslog_ident = 'postgres'
#endif

/etc/syslog.conf:

local0.debug                    /var/log/postgresql

It worked for me!

Nothing, but you can't put something like this:

local0.*                    /var/log/postgresql

Porqué usar una base de datos relacional cualquiera,
si podés usar PostgreSQL?
