It means your log gets time stamped, personally I like it. Makes it a bit more difficult for someone to chop out parts of the log to hide things and shows the daemon is running, its not unknown for syslog to stop working.

Hi: Since day 1 I installed debian, I see the following in the /var/log/messages: Jul 28 21:01:08 woody -- MARK -- Jul 28 21:21:08 woody -- MARK -- Jul 28 21:41:08 woody -- MARK -- and they repeat every single hour at the exact same intervals. Does anyone know what they mean and how can I stop them? I am running the stable release (woody). Thanks, Mario. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
