Title: log entries are not getting into log file

Hi Everybody,

A few days ago, I edited a line in pg_hba.conf file
and issued the command
  pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data restart
Since then (or very close to that time) lines that
should go into serverlog file are coming to the
window from which I issued the above command.  As
a result, I cannot turn my workstation off.

Can somebody please tell me what's happening?  And
how would I fix this?

I am running postgres 8.2.4 on dell, redhad linux
enterprise server.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
