Samba: list all accounts

HowTo list all Samba accounts and their details

A great feature of having a GNU/Linux box as storage shared using Samba is, that not every system account is automatically "available" as Samba login.
Of course, this is also another point of confusion and failure.

Therefore, here's some information about how to list information of all accounts currently "known" by Samba:

Code: Select all

$ pdbedit -L -v

Depending on your number of smb-users, this can be a lengthy list
The data spit out per account looks like this:

Code: Select all

Unix username:        inbox_auto
NT username:
Account Flags:        [U          ]
User SID:             S-1-5-21-2112280047-657456516-xxxxxxxxxx-xxx
