You do this in the _syslog_ configuration, not in the PostgreSQL
configuration.  That is just the way syslog works: PostgreSQL contacts the
local syslogd, and logs its message using the syslog facility you define in
postgresql.conf.  What syslog does with that message is determined by
/etc/syslog.conf.  That could be any one of all sorts of things, including,
but not limited to, logging to a single file, logging to a remote syslog
server, logging to the system console, logging to a printer, etc.....and it's
all controlled in /etc/syslog.conf.  So 'man syslog.conf' and see what you
need to do.
