NAME
  conflict - search for alias/password conflicts

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

DESCRIPTION
  The conflict program checks to see if the interface between MH and
  transport system is in good shape.  It 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 a dot (.) and thus ignores files in
  /usr/spool/mail which begin with a dot.

  The conflict program checks the entries in the specified alias files.	 It
  parses the entries in the same way that post would, and outputs any errors
  which it finds.  The program can be used to check the entries in a user's
  personal alias file, or in the system alias file, /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases.
  If no alias file is specified, conflict checks the system alias file.

  The conflict program also checks the /etc/group file for entries 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.

  The conflict program should be run under cron, or whenever system
  accounting takes place.

FLAGS
  -help	    Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

	    are sent to the standard output.

	    Searches directories other than /usr/spool/mail, and reports
	    anomalies in those directories.  The -search switch can appear
	    more than once in an invocation to conflict, with different
	    directories named.
