Don't put your telephone number and workplace address in public messages that are to be archived forever on the Internet.
Sysklogd.conf does not exist. You must be talking about /etc/init.d/sysklogd . Take a look at "man syslogd"; the command line parameter you're probably interested in is "-r", and you don't want "-m0" because that disables marks.
So I think you would edit /etc/init.d/sysklogd so that the line that reads «SYSLOGD=""» is changed to «SYSLOGD="-r"» .
You would then have to restart the logging daemon: /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart
