Good question. While INN creates the /var/spool/news/* directories auto-
matically, it won't add groups to the active file automatically. One reason
is that, to add a group you need to know if it's moderated or not, INN can't
tell this. The best way is to ask your newsfeed for their active file, and
use that. That way you should get moderated groups configured properly.

Cheers.
