Polytropon,

I want "-t" to be passed when newsyslog is run hourly... not when it is 
run once when the system boots for the purpose of creating log files.

Per "man rc.conf":

newsyslog_enable is used to run newsyslog one time at boot to create 
missing log files.  newsyslog_enable does not cause newsyslog to 
continuously run.

Per /etc/crontab:

newsyslog is run periodically via en entry in /etc/crontab.  newsyslog 
is called without any arguments.
