CONFLICT(8)                   [mh.6]                  CONFLICT(8)


NAME
       conflict - search for alias/password conflicts

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/contrib/mh/lib/conflict  [-mail name] [-search direc-
            tory] [aliasfiles...]  [-help]

DESCRIPTION
       Conflict is a program that checks to see if the  interface
       between MH and 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  addi-
       tion 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.
