Before you start INND, you have  to create history files.  Try these:

#cd /var/news/etc
#/usr/contrib/lib/news/bin/makehistory -f history
#chown news history*

That will create the history files for you.  You should also get an "active"
and "newsgroup" files from your news provider.  

Hope it helps !
