wbinfo (1)

NAME
wbinfo - Query information from winbind daemon

SYNOPSIS

wbinfo -u [-g] [-n name] [-s sid] [-U uid] [-G gid] [-S sid] [-Y sid] [-t] [-m]

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

The following options are available to the wbinfo program:

-u

    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).

-g

    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).

-n name

    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.

-s sid

    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.

-U uid

    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.

-G gid

    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.

-S sid

    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.

-Y sid

    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.

-t

    Verify that the workstation trust account created when the Samba server is added to the Windows NT domain is working.

-m

    Produce a list of domains trusted by the Windows NT server winbindd(8) contacts when resolving names. This list does not include the Windows NT domain the server is a Primary Domain Controller for.

EXIT STATUS

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.
