CONFLICT(8)

NAME
conflict - search for alias/password conflicts

SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/lib/mh/conflict [-mail name] [-search directory] [aliasfiles...] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface between MH and transport system is in good shape Conflict also checks for maildrops in /var/mail which do not belong to a valid user. It assumes that no user name will start with `.', and thus ignores files in /var/mail which begin with `.'. It also checks for entries in the group (5) file which do not belong to a valid user, and for users who do not have a valid group number. In addition duplicate users and groups are noted. If the `-mail name' switch is used, then the results will be sent to the specified name. Otherwise, the results are sent to the standard output. The `-search directory' switch can be used to search directories other than /var/mail and to report anomalies in those directories. The `-search directory' switch can appear more than one time in an invocation to conflict. Conflict should be run under cron (8), or whenever system accounting takes place. ^/usr/local/lib/mh/mtstailor~^tailor file ^/etc/passwd~^List of users ^/etc/group~^List of groups ^/usr/local/bin/mhmail~^Program to send mail ^/var/mail/~^Directory of mail drop None mh-alias(5) `aliasfiles' defaults to /usr/local/lib/mh/MailAliases None
