NAME
       check-permissions - check permissions on mail rerouting files

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/check-permissions [login]

DESCRIPTION
       The   check-permissions script is intended as a migration aid for send‐
       mail(1M). It checks the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file for  all  configured
       alias  files,  and  checks the alias files for :include: files. It also
       checks for certain .forward files. For each  file  that	 check-permis‐
       sions  checks,  it  verifies  that  none	 of the parent directories are
       group- or world-writable. If any directories are overly permissive,  it
       is  reported.  Otherwise	 it  reports  that  no unsafe directories were
       found.

       As to which .forward files are checked, it  depends  on	the  arguments
       included	 on  the  command  line.  If no argument is given, the current
       user's home directory is checked for the presence of a  .forward	 file.
       If  any	arguments  are given, they are assumed to be valid logins, and
       the home directory of each one is checked.

       If the special  argument	 ALL  is  given,   the	passwd	entry  in  the
       /etc/nsswitch.conf  file	 is checked, and all password entries that can
       be obtained through the switch file are checked. In large domains, this
       can be time-consuming.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       login	       Where  login  is	 a  valid  user	 name, checks the home
		       directory for  login.

       ALL	       Checks the home directory of  all users.

FILES
       /etc/mail/sendmail.cf   Defines environment for	sendmail
