NAME
wbinfo - Query information from winbind daemon
SYNOPSIS
wbinfo [ -u ] [ -g ] [ -h name ] [ -i ip ] [ -n name ] [ -s sid ]
[ -U uid ] [ -G gid ] [ -S sid ] [ -Y sid ] [ -t ] [ -m ] [ -r
user ] [ -a user%password ] [ -A user%password ]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the Samba suite.
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
-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 oper-
ation 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 oper-
ation does not assign group ids to any groups that have not
already been seen by winbindd(8).
-h name
The -h option queries winbindd(8) to query the WINS server for
the IP address associated with the NetBIOS name specified by the
name parameter.
-i ip The -i option queries winbindd(8) to send a node status request
to get the NetBIOS name associated with the IP address specified
by the ip parameter.
-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
CWDOM1/Administrator refers to the Administrator user in the
domain CWDOM1. 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 win-
bindd(8) contacts when resolving names. This list does not
include the Windows NT domain the server is a Primary Domain
Controller for.
-r username
Try to obtain the list of UNIX group ids to which the user
belongs. This only works for users defined on a Domain Con-
troller.
-a username%password
Attempt to authenticate a user via winbindd. This checks both
authenticaion methods and reports its results.
-A username%password
Store username and password used by winbindd during session
setup to a domain controller. This enables winbindd to operate
in a Windows 2000 domain with Restrict Anonymous turned on
(a.k.a. Permissions compatiable with Windows 2000 servers only).
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.

Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
