I just setup MH 6.6 on a Sun and the conflict program that I added to the crontab file (the crontab entry was in support/bboards/crontab) seems to be getting two sets of input data. It thinks every user is a duplicate user and every group is a duplicate group. My first thought was that it's reading /etc/passwd & /etc/groups as well as getting the data from yp. I checked in the source and the header files, and don't see it right off. Anyone out there have any idea what's really going on, and more importantly, how to fix it. I think it's a very helpful program, but if I get this output once a day, it'll drive me nuts. thanks, Michael Lamoureux lamour@smiley.mitre.org lamour%smiley@gateway.mitre.org

That's funny. I have a similar but different problem. All output is
good except the output about the maildrops. Each warning is printed,
then all of them are printed again, in the same order. It looks like
this:
there is a maildrop for the unknown user fu in /usr/spool/mail
there is a maildrop for the unknown user bar in /usr/spool/mail
there is a maildrop for the unknown user junk in /usr/spool/mail
there is a maildrop for the unknown user fu in /usr/spool/mail
there is a maildrop for the unknown user bar in /usr/spool/mail
there is a maildrop for the unknown user junk in /usr/spool/mail
Any ideas?
