PURPOSE

     Searches for alias and password conflicts.

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


DESCRIPTION

     The conflict command is used to find conflicts in aliases
     and to find invalid mail drops.  conflict is not designed
     to be  run directly  by the  user; it  is designed  to be
     called  by  cron  and  other  programs  used  for  system
     accounting.  conflict  is a system  administrator command
     that  is usually  invoked  by its  full  path name.   The
     conflict  command is  part of  the MH  (Message Handling)
     package.

     The conflict  command searches all specified  alias files
     for duplicate alias names that do not resolve to the same
     address.       By     default,      conflict     searches
     /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases.   conflict   also  searches  all
     specified  maildrop directories  for  mailbox files  with
     names that  do not correspond  to valid users  defined in
     /etc/passwd.

     The conflict lists its output  on the display, unless you
     specify the  -mail flag.   -mail causes conflict  to mail
     its output to the specified user.

FLAGS

     -help              Displays  help   information  for  the
                        command.
     -mail user         Sends  the  results  of  the  conflict
                        command to the specified user.
     -search directory  Searches the indicated directories for
                        invalid  mailboxes.   You can  specify
                        any  number  of  -search  flags.   The
                        default    mailbox     directory    is
                        /usr/mail.
