Hi,
Try putting mark.none; in /etc/syslog.conf to turn this
``heartbeat'' off. My (vastly modified) syslog.conf is enclosed below
which demonstrates usage.

Life Sucks. Cynical, misanthropic male, 34, looking for soul mate
but certain not to find her. Drop me a note. I'll call you, we'll
talk and I'll ask you out to dinner where I'll probably spend more
than I can afford in a feeble attempt to impress you. Then we'll
realize we have absolutely nothing in common and we'll go our
separate ways, more embittered and depressed than before (if such a
thing is possible).
