4<para><application>Fcron</application> uses the cron facility of
5<command>syslog</command>
6to log all messages. Since <acronym>LFS</acronym> does not set up this
7facility in <filename>/etc/syslog.conf</filename>, it needs to be done
8prior to installing <application>Fcron</application>. This command will append
9the necessary line to the current <filename>/etc/syslog.conf</filename>:</para>
