NAME

       conflict - search for alias/password conflicts

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface between nmh and the transport system is in good
       shape

       Conflict  also checks for maildrops in /var/mail which do not belong to a valid user.  It assumes that no
       user name will start with `.', and thus ignores files in /var/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 /var/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.
