NAME
conflict - search for alias/password conflicts
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/conflict [-search directory] [-mail name] [-version]
[-help] [aliasfiles ...]
DESCRIPTION
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
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.
