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

       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.

       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.

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

       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=DEBUGLEVEL
           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 loglevel 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 clientsmbencrypt. 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.

       profiles [-c|--change-sid=STRING] [-n|--new-sid=STRING] [-v|--verbose] [-?|--help] [--usage]
        [-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL] [--debug-stdout] [--configfile=CONFIGFILE] [--option=name=value]
        [-l|--log-basename=LOGFILEBASE] [--leak-report] [--leak-report-full] {FILE}
