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 winbindd(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-party 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 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.
-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 domain 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) contacts 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 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(5)workgroup parameter.
-N 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.
-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 winbindd 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 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
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).
--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.

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
