23 \fIConflict\fR is a program that checks to see if the interface between
24 \fInmh\fR and transport system is in good shape
26 \fIConflict\fR also checks for maildrops in %mailspool% which do not
27 belong to a valid user. It assumes that no user name will start with
28 `.', and thus ignores files in %mailspool% which begin with `.'. It also
29 checks for entries in the \fIgroup\fR\0(5) file which do not belong
30 to a valid user, and for users who do not have a valid group number.
31 In addition duplicate users and groups are noted.
33 If the `\-mail\ name' switch is used, then the results will be sent
34 to the specified \fIname\fR. Otherwise, the results are sent to the
37 The `\-search\ directory' switch can be used to search directories
38 other than %mailspool% and to report anomalies in those directories.
39 The `\-search\ directory' switch can appear more than one time in an
40 invocation to \fIconflict\fR.
42 \fIConflict\fR should be run under \fIcron\fR\0(8), or whenever system
43 accounting takes place.
