+<para>The <filename>sysklogd</filename> script invokes the

+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
