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.
