DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the ssaammbbaa(7) suite. The wwbbiinnffoo program queries and returns information created and used by the wwiinnbbiinndddd(8) daemon. The wwiinnbbiinndddd(8) daemon must be configured and running for the wwbbiinnffoo program to be able to return information. OOPPTTIIOONNSS-a username%password
Attempt to authenticate a user via winbindd. This checks both authenticaion methods and reports its results. NNoottee Do not be tempted to use this functionality for authenticationin third-party applications. Instead use nnttllmmaauutthh(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 onlythe--sseeqquueennccee,-uu, and -gg options honor this parameter.
-g This option will list all groups available in the Windows NT do-
main for which the ssaammbbaa(7) daemon is operating in. Groups inall trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this opera-
tion does not assign group ids to any groups that have not al-
ready been seen by wwiinnbbiinndddd(8).-get-auth-user
Print username and password used by winbindd during session set-
up to a domain controller. Username and password can be set us-
ing '-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 wwiinnbbiinndddd(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 wwiinn-
bbiinndddd(8) contacts when resolving names. This list does not in-
clude the Windows NT domain the server is a Primary Domain Con-
troller for.-n name
The -n option queries wwiinnbbiinndddd(8) for the SID associated with
the name specified. Domain names can be specified before the us-
er name by using the winbind separator character. For exampleCWDOM1/Administrator refers to the Administrator user in the do-
main CWDOM1. If no domain is specified then the domain used is the one specified in the ssmmbb..ccoonnff(5)workgroup parameter.-N name
The -N option queries wwiinnbbiinndddd(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 speci-
fied winbindd local user.-O user:group
Remove a winbindd local group as a secondary group for the spec-
ified winbindd local user.-p Check whether winbindd is still alive. Prints out either 'suc-
ceeded' or 'failed'.-r username
Try to obtain the list of UNIX group ids to which the user be-
longs. 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 set-
up 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 wwiinnbbiinndddd(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 do-
main for which the wwiinnbbiinndddd(8) daemon is operating in. Users inall trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this opera-
tion does not assign user ids to any users that have not already been seen by wwiinnbbiinndddd(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 wwiinnbbiinndddd(8) then the operation will fail.-V Prints the program version number.
-h|-help
Print a summary of command line options. EEXXIITT SSTTAATTUUSSThe wbinfo program returns 0 if the operation succeeded, or 1 if the
operation failed. If the wwiinnbbiinndddd(8) daemon is not working wwbbiinnffoo will always return failure. VVEERRSSIIOONN This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.SEE ALSO
