.TH CHECK-PERMISSIONS 8 "Nov 10, 2003"
.SH NAME
check-permissions \- check permissions on mail rerouting files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/usr/sbin/check-permissions\fR [\fIlogin\fR]
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The  \fBcheck-permissions\fR script is intended as a migration aid for
\fBsendmail\fR(8). It checks the \fB/etc/mail/sendmail.cf\fR file for all
configured alias files, and checks the alias files for \fB:include:\fR files.
It also checks for certain \fB\&.forward\fR files. For each file that
\fBcheck-permissions\fR 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.
.sp
.LP
As to which \fB\&.forward\fR 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  \fB\&.forward\fR file. If any
arguments are given, they are assumed to be valid logins, and the home
directory of each one is checked.
.sp
.LP
If the special argument \fBALL\fR is given,  the \fBpasswd\fR entry in the
\fB/etc/nsswitch.conf\fR 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.
