DESCRIPTION

13       Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface  between  nmh
14       and the transport system is in good shape
15
16       Conflict  also checks for maildrops in /var/mail which do not belong to
17       a valid user.  It assumes that no user name will start  with  `.',  and
18       thus  ignores  files in /var/mail which begin with `.'.  It also checks
19       for entries in the group(5) file which do not belong to a  valid  user,
20       and for users who do not have a valid group number.  In addition dupli‐
21       cate users and groups are noted.
22
23       If the -mail name switch is used, then the results will be sent to  the
24       specified  name.   Otherwise, the results are sent to the standard out‐
25       put.
26
27       The -search directory switch can be used to  search  directories  other
28       than  /var/mail  and  to  report  anomalies  in those directories.  The
29       -search directory switch can appear more than one time in an invocation
30       to conflict.
31
32       Conflict  should  be  run  under cron(8), or whenever system accounting
33       takes place.
