CONFLICT(8MH)           COMMAND REFERENCE           CONFLICT(8MH)



NAME
     conflict - search for alias/password conflicts

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/mh/conflict [-mail user name ]

DESCRIPTION
     Conflict is a program which checks to see that
     inconsistencies between the Rand MH alias file (
     aliases(5MH) ) and the passwd(5) file have not been
     introduced.  In particular, a line in the alias file may be
     "tom: jones" (because the user "jones" likes to be called
     Tom), but if "tom" is also a valid user name for someone
     else, then that user will no longer receive any mail; his
     mail will be received by "jones" instead!

     Conflict also checks for mailboxes 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 belong to any group in the
     group file.  This last test is local to Rand, and will not
     be performed unless the -DRAND flag was set at compile time.

     If the -mail flag is set, then the results will be sent to
     the specified user name. Otherwise, the results are sent to
     the standard output.

     Conflict should be run under Cron, or whenever system
     accounting takes place.
