+.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(1M). 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.
