This is what I don't understand.. the only function of this message is to cause confusion for 99% of the users and putting "-- MARK --" in the system logs just to show that the system is actually still alive is pretty useless and just takes up disk space. Sure, you can turn it off, but I really think it should be off by default.
I always rip the code out of syslogd whenever I compile it, and I'd bet a lot of others do too.
