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 do‐
	      main for which the samba(7) daemon is operating  in.  Groups  in
	      all  trusted  domains will also be listed. Note that this opera‐
	      tion does not assign group ids to any groups that have  not  al‐
	      ready been seen by winbindd(8).

       --get-auth-user
	      Print username and password used by winbindd during session set‐
	      up to a domain controller. Username and password can be set  us‐
	      ing '-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 win‐
	      bindd(8) contacts when resolving names. This list does  not  in‐
	      clude  the Windows NT domain the server is a Primary Domain Con‐
	      troller for.

       -n name
	      The -n option queries winbindd(8) for the	 SID  associated  with
	      the name specified. Domain names can be specified before the us‐
	      er name by using the winbind separator  character.  For  example
	      CWDOM1/Administrator refers to the Administrator user in the do‐
	      main 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 speci‐
	      fied winbindd local user.

       -O user:group
	      Remove a winbindd local group as a secondary group for the spec‐
	      ified winbindd local user.

       -p     Check  whether  winbindd is still alive. Prints out either 'suc‐
	      ceeded' or 'failed'.

       -r username
	      Try to obtain the list of UNIX group ids to which the  user  be‐
	      longs. 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 set‐
	      up 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  do‐
	      main  for which the winbindd(8) daemon is operating in. Users in
	      all trusted domains will also be listed. Note that  this	opera‐
	      tion 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.

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  An‐
       drew  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.
