.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIConflict\fR is a program that checks to see if the interface between
\fInmh\fR and transport system is in good shape

\fIConflict\fR also checks for maildrops in %mailspool% which do not
belong to a valid user.  It assumes that no user name will start with
`.', and thus ignores files in %mailspool% which begin with `.'.  It also
checks for entries in the \fIgroup\fR\0(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 \fIname\fR.  Otherwise, the results are sent to the
standard output.

The `\-search\ directory' switch can be used to search directories
other than %mailspool% and to report anomalies in those directories.
The `\-search\ directory' switch can appear more than one time in an
invocation to \fIconflict\fR.

\fIConflict\fR should be run under  \fIcron\fR\0(8), or whenever system
accounting takes place.
