CONFLICT(8) [nmh-1.0.4] (MH.6.8) CONFLICT(8)
NAME
conflict - search for alias/password conflicts
SYNOPSIS
/usr/freeware/lib/nmh/conflict [-search directory]
[-mail name] [aliasfiles...] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface
between nmh 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.
