NAME

   profiles - A utility to report and change SIDs in registry files

SYNOPSIS

   profiles [-v] [-c|--change-sid SID] [-n|--new-sid SID] {file}

DESCRIPTION

   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.

OPTIONS

   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.

       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 smb.conf file.

   -V|--version
       Prints the program version number.

   -s|--configfile=<configuration file>
       The file specified contains the configuration details required by
       the server. The information in this file includes server-specific
       information such as what printcap file to use, as well as
       descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. See
       smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name
       is determined at compile time.

   -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.

   --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.

   -?|--help
       Print a summary of command line options.

   --usage
       Display brief usage message.
