Subject: Local Newsgroup?

I'm trying to set up local newsgroups to read mail from
mailing lists with pine or tin, but can't seem to figure
out how to do it.

tin seems to want the "active" file in 
/usr/local/lib/news/active (it's not clear if active is
supposed to be a directory or a file)--

This is using FreeBSD.  Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.  I don't have any problem with pine or tin
reading news from an NNTP server.

Thanks very much--
