checkup(ADM) 19 June 1992 checkup(ADM) Name checkup - report on MMDF problems Syntax /usr/mmdf/bin/checkup [ -p -v [ digit ]] Description The checkup command is used to check aspects of the MMDF system configu- ration. Normally, checkup reports on all problems that are encountered, including correct states. Displayed problems are prefixed by two aster- isks (**); information that is advisory is enclosed in square brackets ( [ ] ). The two optional flags to checkup specify how much information is dis- played. The -p option reports only problems detected by checkup. This is useful for day-to-day checking of the system, such as mailing the out- put to the postmaster alias. The -v flag takes an optional digit which ranges from 1 (the same as the -p option), to level 7 which displays all information. Some of the displayed information, such as that about permissions modes varies by site conventions and may not have widespread significance. In particular it is common for sites to allow group read, write, or execute on files that checkup expects to be protected more carefully. Use of group permissions can greatly ease administration efforts for system administrators without compromising security. Warnings regarding ``oth- ers'' permissions should be examined. Credit MMDF was developed at the University of Delaware and is used with permis- sion.
