WBINFO(1) UNIX System V (19 November 2002) WBINFO(1)
NAME
wbinfo - Query information from winbind daemon
SYNOPSIS
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
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
-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.

WBINFO(1) UNIX System V (19 November 2002) WBINFO(1)-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
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.

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
