DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of the Samba(7) suite.

The pdbedit program is used to manage the users accounts + stored in the sam database and can only be run by root.

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).

There are five main ways to use pdbedit: adding a user account, + without changing the tool).

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.

OPTIONS

-l

This option lists all the user accounts + accounts, importing users accounts.

OPTIONS

-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.

Example: pdbedit -l

		sorce:500:Simo Sorce

-

-v

This option enables the verbose listing format. + the ':' character.

Example: pdbedit -L

+sorce:500:Simo Sorce

-V

Prints the version number for +smbd.

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.

debuglevel 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 +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 +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 log -level parameter in the smb.conf(5) file.

AUTHOR

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar - to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. - The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another - excellent piece of Open Source software, available at - ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2.0 - release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for - Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
