[Openstack] Nova (compute) and syslog

Hi,

I'm trying to get all logging into syslog.
I have modified the nova.conf:
use_syslog= True
syslog_log_facility= LOG_LOCAL0

However it appears for most components logging is still going to /var/log/nova/<service>
So the api.log and compute.log are still going there.
There are some messages going to syslog but the amount seems to be trivial compared to stuff going to /var/log

Do I have  a wrong understanding of the use_syslog directive? Does it only apply to a subset of the logging?
Or is something broken?

Anyone who has set this up who can help me out?

Running Folsom on SL6..

Thanks,
Robert
