8 wbinfo \- Query information from winbind daemon
11 \fBwbinfo\fR [ \fB-u\fR ] [ \fB-g\fR ] [ \fB-i ip\fR ] [ \fB-N netbios-name\fR ] [ \fB-n name\fR ] [ \fB-s sid\fR ] [ \fB-U uid\fR ] [ \fB-G gid\fR ] [ \fB-S sid\fR ] [ \fB-Y sid\fR ] [ \fB-t\fR ] [ \fB-m\fR ] [ \fB-r user\fR ] [ \fB-a user%password\fR ] [ \fB-A user%password\fR ] [ \fB-p\fR ]
15 This tool is part of the Samba suite.
17 The \fBwbinfo\fR program queries and returns information
18 created and used by the \fB winbindd(8)\fR daemon.
20 The \fBwinbindd(8)\fR daemon must be configured
21 and running for the \fBwbinfo\fR program to be able
22 to return information.
26 This option will list all users available
27 in the Windows NT domain for which the \fBwinbindd(8)
28 \fR daemon is operating in. Users in all trusted domains
29 will also be listed. Note that this operation does not assign
30 user ids to any users that have not already been seen by
34 This option will list all groups available
35 in the Windows NT domain for which the \fBwinbindd(8)
36 \fR daemon is operating in. Groups in all trusted domains
37 will also be listed. Note that this operation does not assign
38 group ids to any groups that have not already been seen by
43 queries \fBwinbindd(8)\fR to query the WINS
44 server for the IP address associated with the NetBIOS name
45 specified by the \fIname\fR parameter.
49 queries \fBwinbindd(8)\fR to send a node status
50 request to get the NetBIOS name associated with the IP address
51 specified by the \fIip\fR parameter.
55 queries \fBwinbindd(8)\fR for the SID
56 associated with the name specified. Domain names can be specified
57 before the user name by using the winbind separator character.
58 For example CWDOM1/Administrator refers to the Administrator
59 user in the domain CWDOM1. If no domain is specified then the
60 domain used is the one specified in the \fIsmb.conf\fR
61 \fIworkgroup\fR parameter.
64 Use \fI-s\fR to resolve
65 a SID to a name. This is the inverse of the \fI-n
66 \fR option above. SIDs must be specified as ASCII strings
67 in the traditional Microsoft format. For example,
68 S-1-5-21-1455342024-3071081365-2475485837-500.
71 Try to convert a UNIX user id to a Windows NT
72 SID. If the uid specified does not refer to one within
73 the winbind uid range then the operation will fail.
76 Try to convert a UNIX group id to a Windows
77 NT SID. If the gid specified does not refer to one within
78 the winbind gid range then the operation will fail.
81 Convert a SID to a UNIX user id. If the SID
82 does not correspond to a UNIX user mapped by \fB winbindd(8)\fR then the operation will fail.
85 Convert a SID to a UNIX group id. If the SID
86 does not correspond to a UNIX group mapped by \fB winbindd(8)\fR then the operation will fail.
89 Verify that the workstation trust account
90 created when the Samba server is added to the Windows NT
94 Produce a list of domains trusted by the
95 Windows NT server \fBwinbindd(8)\fR contacts
96 when resolving names. This list does not include the Windows
97 NT domain the server is a Primary Domain Controller for.
100 Try to obtain the list of UNIX group ids
101 to which the user belongs. This only works for users
102 defined on a Domain Controller.
104 \fB-a username%password\fR
105 Attempt to authenticate a user via winbindd.
106 This checks both authenticaion methods and reports its results.
108 \fB-A username%password\fR
109 Store username and password used by winbindd
110 during session setup to a domain controller. This enables
111 winbindd to operate in a Windows 2000 domain with Restrict
112 Anonymous turned on (a.k.a. Permissions compatiable with
113 Windows 2000 servers only).
116 The wbinfo program returns 0 if the operation
117 succeeded, or 1 if the operation failed. If the \fBwinbindd(8)
118 \fR daemon is not working \fBwbinfo\fR will always return

130 The original Samba software and related utilities
131 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
132 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
133 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
