NAME

     wbinfo - Query information from winbind daemon


SYNOPSIS

     wbinfo [-a user%password]  [--all-domains]  [--allocate-gid]
            [--allocate-uid]  [-D  domain] [--domain domain] [-g]
            [--getdcname domain] [--get-auth-user] [-G gid]  [-h]

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|--authenticate 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).

     --allocate-gid
        Get a new GID out of idmap

     --allocate-uid
        Get a new UID out of idmap

     --all-domains
        List all domains (trusted and own domain).

     --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.

     -D|--domain-info domain
        Show most of the info we have about the domain.

     -g|--domain-groups
        This option will list all groups available in the Windows

                          Last change:                          1

WBINFO(1)                USER COMMANDS                  WBINFO(1)

        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  ses-
        sion  setup to a domain controller. Username and password
        can be set  using  --set-auth-user.  Only  available  for
        root.

     --getdcname domain
        Get the DC name for the specified domain.

     -G|--gid-to-sid 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|--user-info user
        Get user info.

     -I|--WINS-by-ip 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.

     -K|--krb5auth username%password
        Attempt to authenticate a user via Kerberos.

     -m|--trusted-domains
        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-to-sid 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 char-
        acter.  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|--WINS-by-name 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.

     --own-domain
        List own domain.

WBINFO(1)                USER COMMANDS                  WBINFO(1)

     -p|--ping
        Check whether winbindd is still alive. Prints out  either
        'succeeded' or 'failed'.

     -r|--user-groups 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-to-name 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.

     --separator
        Get the active winbind separator.

     --sequence
        Show sequence numbers of all known domains

     --set-auth-user username%password
        Store username and password used by winbindd during  ses-
        sion  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).

     -S|--sid-to-uid 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|--check-secret
        Verify that the workstation trust  account  created  when
        the  Samba  server  is  added to the Windows NT domain is
        working.

     -u|--domain-users
        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)

     --user-domgroups SID
        Get user domain groups.

     --user-sids SID
        Get user group SIDs for user.

     -U|--uid-to-sid uid

                          Last change:                          3

WBINFO(1)                USER COMMANDS                  WBINFO(1)

        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.

     -Y|--sid-to-gid 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.


VERSION

     This man page is correct for version 3.0 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.  The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was
     done by Alexander Bokovoy.
