For the life of me, I can't seem to get logging to a file or syslog going
on the rpms of the latest postgres. Can someone let me know what I need
to do.

From README.rpm-dist, part of the main postgresql RPM:
LOGGING SET UP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get rollable syslog set up, see the documentation for the file
postgresql.conf, by default in the directory /var/lib/pgsql/data, as relates
to
the syslog options. Then, add a line to /etc/syslog.conf, using the man page
for syslog.conf as a source. Example:
If postgresql.conf has the following lines for the syslog settings:
syslog = 1 # range 0-2
syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0'
syslog_ident = 'postgres'

Then you need to add the line:
local0.* /var/log/postgresql

Then set up an entry in /etc/logrotate.d to roll postgresql the way you want
it
rolled.
