HP CIFS Server 3.0f Administrator's Guide verison A.02.03

An Example for File Ownership by Winbind Users
In the following example, use /opt/samba/bin/smbclient to connect to a share, shareA, on the HP
CIFS Server, Server1, as the user, John, from the domain, DomA:
$ cd /opt/samba/bin
$ ./smbclient //Server1/shareA -U DomA\\John
The output is as follows:
Domain=[DomainA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.7 based HP CIFS Server A.02.01]
$ smb:\>put JohnTest
$ smb:\>quit
Use the ll command to show the ownership of the file, /tmp/shareA/JohnTest, as follows:
$ ll /tmp/shareA/JohnTest
When you run the ll command, the output is as follows:
-rwxr--r-- 1 DomA\John DomA\GroA 290 Nov 0 12:05 tmp/shareA/JohnTest
In the above output, the file owner is DomA\John,and the group owner is DomA\GroA. The first part of
owner and group owner, DomA, is the domain name, the \ is the winbind separator. The last part, John
and GroA are the actual user name and group name from the windows domain.
Use the ll -n command to show the UID and GID of file ownership as follows:
$ ll -n /tmp/shareA/JohnTest
-rwxr--r-- 1 10002 10005 290 Nov 0 12:05 tmp/shareA/JohnTest
When you run the ll -n command, the UID(10002) and GID (10005) are displayed in the output. Both
UID and GID are in the range of values that are specified in the smb.conf file for winbind to use.
