  <para>The <filename>sysklogd</filename> script invokes the
  <command>syslogd</command> program with the <parameter>-m 0</parameter> option.
  This option turns off the periodic timestamp mark that
  <command>syslogd</command> writes to the log files every 20 minutes by default.
  If you want to turn on this periodic timestamp mark, edit the
  <filename>sysklogd</filename> script and make the changes accordingly. See
  <userinput>man syslogd</userinput> for more information.</para>
