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  Sambasuite.

  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 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).

  -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 winbindd(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 Controller.

  -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.


VERSION

  This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite.

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.

  wbinfo and winbindd were written by Tim Potter.

  The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
