wbinfo -u [-g] [-n name] [-s sid] [-U uid] [-G gid] [-S sid] [-Y sid]
This program is part of the Samba suite version 3.0 and describes functionality not yet implemented in the main version of Samba.
The wbinfo program queries and returns information created and used by the winbindd(8) daemon.
The winbindd(8) daemon must be configured and running for the wbinfo program to be able to return information.
The following options are available to the wbinfo program:
This option will list all users available in the Windows NT domain for which the winbindd(8) daemon is operating in. Users in all trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this operation does not assign user ids to any users that have not already been seen by winbindd(8).
This option will list all groups available in the Windows NT domain for which the winbindd(8) daemon is operating in. Groups in all trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this operation does not assign group ids to any groups that have not already been seen by winbindd(8).
The -n option queries winbindd(8) for the SID
associated with the name specified. Domain names can be specified before
the user name by using the winbind separator character. For example
DOM1/Administrator refers to the Administrator user in the domain
DOM1. If no domain is specified then the domain used is the one
specified in the smb.conf workgroup parameter.
Use -s to resolve a SID to a name. This is the inverse of the -n
option above. SIDs must be specified as ASCII strings in the traditional
Microsoft format. For example
S-1-5-21-1455342024-3071081365-2475485837-500.
Try to convert a UNIX user id to a Windows NT SID. If the uid specified does not refer to one within the winbind uid range then the operation will fail.
Try to convert a UNIX group id to a Windows NT SID. If the gid specified does not refer to one within the winbind gid range then the operation will fail.
Convert a SID to a UNIX user id. If the SID does not correspond to a UNIX user mapped by winbindd(8) then the operation will fail.
Convert a SID to a UNIX group id. If the SID does not correspond to a UNIX group mapped by winbindd(8) then the operation will fail.
The wbinfo program returns 0 if the operation succeeded, or 1 if the operation failed. If the winbindd(8) daemon is not working wbinfo will always return failure.
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.
