DESCRIPTION

13       The   check-permissions script is intended as a migration aid for send‐
14       mail(1M). It checks the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file for  all  configured
15       alias  files,  and  checks the alias files for :include: files. It also
16       checks for certain .forward files. For each  file  that   check-permis‐
17       sions  checks,  it  verifies  that  none  of the parent directories are
18       group- or world-writable. If any directories are overly permissive,  it
19       is  reported.  Otherwise  it  reports  that  no unsafe directories were
20       found.
21
22
23       As to which .forward files are checked, it  depends  on  the  arguments
24       included  on  the  command  line.  If no argument is given, the current
25       user's home directory is checked for the presence of a  .forward  file.
26       If  any  arguments  are given, they are assumed to be valid logins, and
27       the home directory of each one is checked.
28
29
30       If the special  argument  ALL  is  given,   the  passwd  entry  in  the
31       /etc/nsswitch.conf  file  is checked, and all password entries that can
32       be obtained through the switch file are checked. In large domains, this
33       can be time-consuming.
