Since some days, my /var/log/messages shows every 20 minutes following here is what it looks like : Aug 8 00:12:30 mail -- MARK -- Aug 8 00:32:30 mail -- MARK -- does anyone have an idea what it could be ? I have this message since I set up this server.

It's the heartbeat of the machine. I believe it flushes some buffers too. Add the line: "mark.* /dev/null" to /etc/syslog.conf if you do not want to see it in the logs. regards,
