An active check result is a the rseult of a checking action that was 
initiated by Nagios, a passive check result is one that was not.
What Nagios actually handles in the passive checking model are only the 
*results* that are fed to the daemon through the external command file.
It would be meaningless to sumbit an "active" check result to Nagios.
This is why a service or host is not by nature "active" or "passive". It 
can be checked using one method, the other or both, according to the 
settings of the two config variables you mention.
