Name
winbindd
Synopsis
The winbindd daemon is part of the winbind service and is used to allow Unix systems to obtain user and group information from a Windows NT/2000 server. Winbind maps Windows relative IDs (RIDs) to Unix UIDs and GIDs and allows accounts stored on the Windows server to be used for Unix authentication. Its purpose is to ease integration of Microsoft and Unix networks when a preexisting Windows domain controller is set up to handle user and computer accounts.
The daemon is accessed by users via the name service switch and PAM.
The name service switch calls a library
(/lib/libnss_winbind.so), which calls the
daemon, which in turn calls the Windows NT/2000 server using
Microsoft RPC. The PAM module for winbind can call the daemon
similarly, allowing users whose accounts are stored on the Windows
server to log in to the Unix system and run an interactive shell,
FTP, or any other program that authenticates users through PAM.
The winbind subsystem is currently available only for the Linux operating system and a few other systems that use shared libraries, nsswitch and PAM.
