syslog help



I am trying to move my postgresql (v7.4) logging out of the syslog and into a postgres.log. I want to do this so I can turn on logging full bore and have logrotate keep the logs to a reasonable size.

 

Here is my problem. Postgresql v7.4 will either log to STDOUT, syslog or none. I have been looking at syslog.conf and trying to set this up and I have what looks good, but I still get the entries in the syslog. Here is what I have for syslog.conf

 

Local0.*     /var/log/postgresql/postgres.log

 

I also tries this with cron and that did not work either. Is this even possible? Can I redirect entries out of the syslog into another file, or does this facility only copy the entries to another file, while maintaining them in the syslog.
