It depends. If you selected syslog logging then it's wherever syslog is
configured to put the messages. Otherwise, it's wherever the
postmaster's stderr output is being sent.
A fairly annoying property of the current RPM packagings is that their
startup script sends postmaster stderr to /dev/null. We have (finally)
fixed that for 8.0, but in current releases you need to alter the
startup script in order to get useful log output.
