[Samba] AD member server - getting a user's name (GECOS)

[Robert M. Martel - CSU]

Greetings,

My odd question for the week - I've been unable to figure out if/how to 
do this.  Given an Active Directory user ID, is there a way to get the 
user's real name?

During testing of our Samba AD member servers I have seen user's given 
names appearing in the log files - is there a way that I can pull that 
for my own use?  Our site uses loginIDs for users that give no clue as 
to their identity, it would be nice to turn those IDs into the user's 
actual name so I know who is doing what.

I've been playing with wbinfo which seemed like a good place to start, 
but no joy there.

I'm looking for GECOS info, not the user's UID or GID.

Thanks,
Bob
