samba - Dec 2007 - NetUserGetGroups query

Hi, all:

Recently I have been involved in a task to use LANMAN protocol to determine
whether a user belongs to a certain group.

What I know is it is necessary to send out a NetUserGetGroups request, and wait
for the response from the server, if there is any.

We are using samba client 3.0.25a. In the source code, I found there are two
functions are related to this request: cli_NetUserGetGroups() and
api_NetUserGetGroups(). I guess what is really used may be the former -
NetUserGetGroups(). Anyone can confirm?

I understand that we should not directly deal with this function. The compiled
binary is smbclient_x, and all jobs are performed through this binary with a
series of options and arguments. What I want to know is, in my situation, if I
want to determine a user's group, what options and arguments shoud I pass to
the binary smbclient_x?

TIA,
Xu Qiang

Do you really need the LANMAN protocols? This would only
make sense if your target servers are OS/2. Windows these
days uses DCE/RPC, and here in particular the SAMR pipe. You
would find the appropriate functions in
rpc_client/cli_samr.c.
