Synopsis

DESCRIPTION

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

The pdbedit program is used to manage the users accounts stored in the sam database and can only be run by root.

The pdbedit tool uses the passdb modular interface and is independent from the kind of users database used (currently there are smbpasswd, ldap, nis+ and tdb based and more can be added without changing the tool).

There are five main ways to use pdbedit: adding a user account, removing a user account, modifing a user account, listing user - accounts, importing users accounts.

OPTIONS

-L: This option lists all the user accounts + accounts, importing users accounts.

OPTIONS

-L

This option lists all the user accounts present in the users database. This option prints a list of user/uid pairs separated by the ':' character.
