That exact command works.
(Note that I am logged in via ssh onto the remote postgresql host as
my normal system user 'tom'.)

That exact command works.

Is there a possibility my postgresql.conf file needs changing to get
good logging? I originally changed no defaults and my system
postgresql start file puts all info into "server.log" in $PGDATA.
This morning I changed one line in that conf file (and then did a reload):
#logging_collector = off # Enable capturing of stderr and csvlog
logging_collector = on # Enable capturing of stderr and csvlog
I also checked /var/log/auth.log and see no evidence of login
attempts from my two postgres users except vial local logins.
Thanks, Jehan-Guillaume.
