conflict − search for alias/password conflicts

SYNOPSIS

/usr/new/lib/mh/conflict ­[−mail name] ­[−search directory] ­[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 /usr/spool/mail which do not belong to a valid user.  It assumes that no user name will start with ‘.’, and thus ignores files in /usr/spool/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 /usr/spool/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.  ^/usr/new/lib/mh/mtstailor~^tailor file ^/etc/passwd~^List of users ^/etc/group~^List of groups ^/usr/new/mh/mhmail~^Program to send mail ^/usr/spool/mail/~^Directory of mail drop None mh−alias(5) ‘aliasfiles’ defaults to /usr/new/lib/mh/MailAliases None
