CONFLICT(8)CONFLICT(8)NAMEconflict - search for alias/password conflicts
SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/libexec/nmh/conflict [-search directory] [-mail name] [-ver‐
sion] [-help] [aliasfiles ...]
DESCRIPTION
Conflict is deprecated and will be removed from the next nmh release.
Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface between nmh
and the 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 dupli‐
cate 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 out‐
put.
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.
