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 win-
bindd(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-par-
ty 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 per-
formed. 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 do-
main 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) con-
tacts 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 spec-
ified. Domain names can be specified before the user name by using the win-
bind separator character. For example CWDOM1/Administrator refers to the Ad-
ministrator 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 ad-
dress 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 win-
bindd 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 on-
ly 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 do-
main controller. This enables winbindd to operate in a Windows 2000 domain
with Restrict Anonymous turned on (a.k.a. Permissions compatiable with Win-
dows 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.

This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.
