CONFLICT(8)         RISC/os Reference Manual          CONFLICT(8)



NAME
     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/mail which do not
     belong to a valid user.  It assumes that no user name will
     start with `.', and thus ignores files in /usr/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 direc-
     tories other than /usr/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.
