conflict

conflict(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       conflict(8)

NAME

       conflict - search for alias/password conflicts

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/conflict [-help] [-mail name] [-search directory] [aliasfiles...]

OPTIONS

       Prints a list of the valid options to this command.  Mails the results to the specified name.  Otherwise, the results are sent to the stan-
       dard output.  Searches directories other than /usr/spool/mail, and reports anomalies in those directories. The -search  switch  can  appear
       more than once in an invocation to conflict, with different directories named.

DESCRIPTION

       The  conflict  program  checks  to  see	if the interface between MH and transport system is in good shape. It also checks for maildrops in
       /usr/spool/mail which do not belong to a valid user. It assumes that no user name will start with a dot	(.)  and  thus	ignores  files	in
       /usr/spool/mail which begin with a dot.

       The  conflict  program  checks the entries in the specified alias files. It parses the entries in the same way that post would, and outputs
       any errors which it finds. The program can be used to check the entries in a user's personal alias file,  or  in  the  system  alias  file,
       /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases. If no alias file is specified, conflict checks the system alias file.

       The conflict program also checks the /etc/group file for entries 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.

       The conflict program should be run under cron, or whenever system accounting takes place.

FILES

       The system customization file.  The system password file.  The system group file.  Program used to mail results, if  the  -mail	option	is
       used.  Directory containing users' maildrops.
