     NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
	  wbinfo - Query information from winbind daemon

     SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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    [Toc]    [Back]
	  -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    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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.

	  wbinfo and winbindd were written by Tim Potter.
