Hi
Sorry if it's not 100% appropriate for this list, cannot think of better
place to find people with lots of know-how from Unix and Windows.
I'm currently working on replacing EMC's Celerra file servers by Linux/Samba.
The SID to UID/GID mapping table on Celerra is very large, ~50'000 entries
and I don't want to pollute my LDAP server with all this (using winbind with
LDAP back-end). Most of those entries are there for historical reasons and are
just useless.
Now my question: does anybody know a tool working under Windows to scan a
filesystem and collect all usernames/groupnames (or SIDS) used?
Any Samba's tool having this capability?
Thanks for your time.

Chris
Chris,
Easy. Find is your friend. It can find anything and do whatever with
the results.
find /tmp/ -type f -printf "%U \n" | sort | uniq > uids.txt
find /tmp/ -type f -printf "%G \n" | sort | uniq > gids.txt
If you know the uid's and gid's + you got the mappings, it's easy to
know which sid's you (don't) need.

Frank,
thanks for your quick answer.
Unfortunately it's not what I'm looking for.
I want to find out what users or groups have been given
any rights on a file or directory. In other words I want
to collect user/group-names from ACL's. Or if you want,
collect those information which you would see when under
Windows you right click on a file/directory and select
properties/security.
And I'm looking for a way of do it "automaticaly".
A sort of Windows "getfacl -R".
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Chris
I don't know how useful this would be as it's just a raw listing of all
files & dirs with associated acls. It would need more massaging for any
sort of scripted restore or data extract.
Install gnuwin32 utils form sourceforge
Install xcacls.exe from MS Resource Tools
c:\path\to\gnuwin32\bin\find.exe X:\ > c:\temp\find.log
for /f "usebackq delims==" %i in (`type c:\temp\find.log`) do
@xcacls.exe "%i" >> c:\temp\xcacls.log
