You seem to be running an older version of newsyslog(8) with the
/etc/newsyslog.conf file from a more recent version. The 'N' flag
(meaning don't try and send a signal to any process) was added to
RELENG_4 newsyslog on 4th May 2003.
This suggests that your attempt to upgrade has failed to update all of
the standard system programs -- you'll probably find it easiest to do
a 4.6 to 4.9 upgrade by cvsup(1)ing the latest RELENG_4_9 sources, and
then doing a full buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, installworld
cycle as detailed in /usr/src/UPDATING and the handbook at:
