Winbind

winbind is a component of the Samba suite of programs that solves the unified logon problem. Winbind uses a UNIX implementation of Microsoft RPC calls, Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAMs), and the name service switch (NSS) to allow Windows NT domain users to appear and operate as UNIX users on a UNIX machine. This chapter describes the Winbind system, the functionality it provides, how it is configured, and how it works internally.

wbinfo

wbinfo — Query information from winbind daemon

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.

examples

  • show groups | wbinfo -g
  • show users | wbinfo -u
