conflict
CONFLICT(8) [nmh-1.5] CONFLICT(8)
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.
FILES
/etc/nmh/mts.conf nmh mts configuration file
/etc/passwd List of users
/etc/group List of groups
/usr/bin/mh/mhmail Program to send mail
/var/mail/ Directory of mail drop
PROFILE COMPONENTS
None
SEE ALSO
mh-alias(5)
DEFAULTS
`aliasfiles' defaults to /etc/nmh/MailAliases
CONTEXT
