-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-
-.PP
-This tool is part of the \fBSamba\fR(7) suite\&.
-
-.PP
-The pdbedit program is used to manage the users accounts stored in the sam database and can only be run by root\&.
-
-.PP
-The pdbedit tool uses the passdb modular interface and is independent from the kind of users database used (currently there are smbpasswd, ldap, nis+ and tdb based and more can be added without changing the tool)\&.
-
-.PP
-There are five main ways to use pdbedit: adding a user account, removing a user account, modifing a user account, listing user accounts, importing users accounts\&.
-
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-
-.TP
--L
-This option lists all the user accounts present in the users database\&. This option prints a list of user/uid pairs separated by the ':' character\&.

-.nf
-
-sorce:500:Simo Sorce
-samba:45:Test User
-.fi
-
-
-.TP
--v

-
-
-Example: \fBpdbedit -e smbpasswd:/root/samba-users.backup\fR
-
-
-.TP
--g
-If you specify \fI-g\fR, then \fI-i in-backend -e out-backend\fR applies to the group mapping instead of the user database\&.
-
-
-This option will ease migration from one passdb backend to another and will ease backing up\&.
-
-
-.TP

--h|--help
-Print a summary of command line options\&.
-
-
-.TP
--V
-Prints the program version number\&.
-
-
-.TP
--s <configuration file>
-The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server\&. The information in this file includes server-specific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide\&. See \fIsmb\&.conf\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.
-
-
-.TP
--d|--debug=debuglevel
-\fIdebuglevel\fR is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero\&.
-
-
-The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the server\&. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged\&. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out\&.
-
-
-Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used when investigating a problem\&. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic\&.
-
-
-Note that specifying this parameter here will override the \fIlog level\fR parameter in the \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file\&.
-
-
-.TP
--l|--logfile=logbasename
-File name for log/debug files\&. The extension \fB"\&.client"\fR will be appended\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.
