What I did was 
	1.  having the news library directory(/usr/lib/news) and spool
	    directory(/usr/spool/news) of passive systems symbolic linked
	    to an active system. For example:
		ln -s /b/usr/lib/news /a/usr/lib/news
		ln -s /b/usr/spool/news /a/usr/spool/news

	2.  in order to let the news posted simply modify the postnews.c
	    and/or Pnews to have it exec "rsh active-system inews" instead
	    of just "inews"
