SYNOPSIS

profiles [-c|--change-sid=STRING] [-n|--new-sid=STRING] [-v|--verbose] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL] [--debug-stdout] [--configfile=CONFIGFILE] [--option=name=value] [-l|--log-basename=LOGFILEBASE] [--leak-report] [--leak-report-full] {FILE}

DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

profiles is a utility that reports and changes SIDs in windows registry files. It currently only supports NT.

OPTIONS

file

Registry file to view or edit.

-v,--verbose

Increases verbosity of messages.

-c SID1 -n SID2, --change-sid SID1 --new-sid SID2

Change all occurrences of SID1 in file by SID2.

-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL

level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified is 1 for client applications.

The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out.

Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.

Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log level parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

--debug-stdout

This will redirect debug output to STDOUT. By default all clients are logging to STDERR.

--configfile=<configuration file>

The file specified contains the configuration details required by the client. The information in this file can be general for client and server or only provide client specific like options such as client smb encrypt. See /etc/samba/smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time.

--option=<name>=<value>

Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read from the configuration file. If a name or a value includes a space, wrap whole --option=name=value into quotes.

-l|--log-basename=logdirectory

Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname" will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never removed by the client.

--leak-report

Enable talloc leak reporting on exit.

--leak-report-full

Enable full talloc leak reporting on exit.

-V|--version

Prints the program version number.

-?|--help

Print a summary of command line options.

--usage

Display brief usage message.
