I dunno why we hadn't had that info in the docs all along ...

On most Unix systems, you will need to alter the configuration of
your system's <application>syslog</application> daemon in order
to make use of the <systemitem>syslog</systemitem> option for
<varname>log_destination</>. <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
can log to <application>syslog</application> facilities
<literal>LOCAL0</> through <literal>LOCAL7</> (see <xref
linkend="guc-syslog-facility">), but the default
<application>syslog</application> configuration on most platforms
will discard all such messages. You will need to add something like
<programlisting>
local0.* /var/log/postgresql
</programlisting>
to the <application>syslog</application> daemon's configuration file
to make it work.
