conflict - search for alias/password conflicts


SYNOPSIS

       /usr/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 addi­
       tion 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.
