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