...appears to cause a failure for me:

syslogd: invalid option -- '-'

I think what you're trying to do here (but have possibly made a typo of 
'=' instead of ':') is:

1) Set PARMS = $SYSKLOGD_PARMS, if that variable exists, regardless of 
whether it is null.
2) Set PARMS to '-m 0' if $SYSKLOGD_PARMS is not set at all

Looking at bash(1) under 'Parameter Expansion' I can't see an operator 
that does that.  At the moment, I can't see a way of doing that 
assignment without using an 'if...else' construct.  Something like the 
following:

if [ -n "${SYSKLOGD_PARMS+x}" ]; then
   PARMS="-m 0";
else
   PARMS="${SYSKLOGD_PARMS}"
fi

Regards,

Matt.
