Name
wbinfo — Query information from winbind daemon
Synopsis
wbinfo [-a user%password] [-c username] [-C groupname] [--domain domain] [-I ip] [-s sid] [-u] [-U uid] [-g] [--get-auth-user] [-G gid] [-m] [-n name] [-N netbios-name] [-o user:group] [-O user:group] [-p] [-r user] [--set-auth-user user%password] [--sequence] [-S sid] [-t] [-x username] [-X groupname] [-Y sid]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) 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
- -a username%password
Attempt to authenticate a user via winbindd.
This checks both authenticaion methods and reports its results.
Note
Do not be tempted to use this
functionality for authentication in third-party
applications. Instead use ntlm_auth(1).
- -c user
Create a local winbind user.
- -C group
Create a local winbindd group.
- --domain name
This parameter sets the domain on which any specified
operations will performed. If special domain name '.' is used to represent
the current domain to which winbindd belongs. Currently only the
--sequence,
-u, and -g options honor this parameter.
- -g
This option will list all groups available
in the Windows NT domain for which the samba(7) 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).
- --get-auth-user
Print username and password used by winbindd
during session setup to a domain controller. Username
and password can be set using '-A'. Only available for
root.
- -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 idmap gid range then the operation will fail.
- -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.
- -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.
- -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(5) workgroup
parameter.
- -N name
The -N option
queries winbindd(8) to query the WINS
server for the IP address associated with the NetBIOS name
specified by the name parameter.
- -o user:group
Add a winbindd local group as a secondary group
for the specified winbindd local user.
- -O user:group
Remove a winbindd local group as a secondary group
for the specified winbindd local user.
- -p
Check whether winbindd is still alive.
Prints out either 'succeeded' or 'failed'.
- -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.
- -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.
- --set-auth-user 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).
- --sequence
Show sequence numbers of
all known domains
- -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.
- -t
Verify that the workstation trust account
created when the Samba server is added to the Windows NT
domain is working.
- -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)
.
- -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 idmap uid range then the operation will fail.
- -x user
Delete an existing local winbind user.
- -X group
Delete an existing local winbindd group.
- -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.
- -V
Prints the program version number.
- -h|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
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.
