Update of /home/cvsd/slony1/slony1-engine/doc/adminguide
In directory main.slony.info:/tmp/cvs-serv11788

Modified Files:
	loganalysis.sgml slon.sgml slonconf.sgml slonik_ref.sgml 
Log Message:
Update admin guide docs to reflect changes in logging in Slony-I 2.0
in that "interesting" messages have gotten promoted to INFO/CONFIG
so that users could run slon at "-d 0" and get meaningful logs.
