If you don't have a local news server, there's no reason for you to have
/var/lib/news/active at all, so no.
Is it possible that you haven't set the NNTPSERVER environment variable
correctly (it should be the hostname of your news server)? The inews
from inewsinn should honour that environment variable and not try to
look in a local active file if it's set.
