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​.

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=level

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​.

This man page is part of version 4​.25​.0 of the Samba suite​.

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell​. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed​.

The profiles man page was written by Jelmer Vernooij​.
