[Samba] configuring Shares, Users with Samba 4.0.5 as an AD DC

[Pekka L.J. Jalkanen]

Hi Thierry,

that command is called "wbinfo". For details, run "wbinfo --help". Some
examples below:

To find the Windows sid of an uid, run:
"wbinfo -U 3000000" (or any other uid).

That sid can in turn be used to find the username:
"wbinfo -s S-1-5-32-544"

So if you want to combine the whole thing into one, just run:

"wbinfo -s `wbinfo -U 3000000`"

Which should output something like:

"BUILTIN\Administrators 4"

The number following the username just tells how many Windows users or
groups are represented by that uid, if I'm understanding it correctly.

For reversed direction (to get the uid from username), try:

"wbinfo -S `wbinfo -n Administrator`"

Although in most cases you should be able to just run "getent passwd
username" to find the uid, whether the account is a windows account or not.
