search for alias/password conflicts

SYNOPSIS

    +.5i

    /usr/lib/nmh/conflict \%[-search\ directory] \%[-mail\ name] \%[aliasfiles...] \%[-version] \%[-help] -.5i

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/spool/mail which do not belong to a valid user. It assumes that no user name will start with `.', and thus ignores files in /var/spool/mail which begin with `.'. It also checks for entries in the group\0(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/spool/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\0(8), or whenever system accounting takes place. ^/etc/nmh/mts.conf~^nmh mts configuration file ^/etc/passwd~^List of users ^/etc/group~^List of groups ^/usr/bin/mhmail~^Program to send mail ^/var/spool/mail/~^Directory of mail drop None mh-alias(5) `aliasfiles' defaults to /etc/nmh/MailAliases None
