No, but this is part of a configuration patch:

  * USE_SYSLOG: use syslog for elog and error messages printed by tprintf
@@ -169,7 +169,7 @@
  * (syslog=0 for stdio, syslog=1 for stdio+syslog, syslog=2 for syslog).

hmmm, I'm more confused than before...    :)

i was reading in the docs that that for syslog
(ie. syslog = 2 in pg_options) to effectively work, you need to build
postgres with --enable-syslog

so the question is: if I put syslog = 2 in pg_options, it will work
in a rh7 with postgres out of the box ?

(sure, i can try, but I'm not in a hurry to use this feature, so if
it's not enabled, can you enable it in rh7.1 ?)

PostgreSQL 7.0.2 has no --enable-syslog switch.  7.1 (and, apparently
7.0.3) will have such a configure switch (it exists both in CURRENT and
REL7_0_PATCHES in CVS).

Yes, it should.  The patch was necessary for 7.0.2, but not for later
than that.
