💖 ldapfinger 💖

okay bestie, so we're in the ldapscripts family of manual pages — this one is ldapfinger, it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and it is literally the "let me snoop on one account real quick" tool. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ldapfinger — displays a user/machine/group POSIX account's details.

like. it's finger, but make it LDAP. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ldapfinger [-u|-g|-m][username|machinename|groupname|uid|gid]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Not gonna lie, the whole thing is basically "you give it a name or an id, it hands you back the POSIX account deets." That's the vibe. The flags below just tell it what kind of thing to go looking for. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• [username | machinename | groupname | uid | gid] — the name or id of the user, machine (with an ending $) or group you want to display. You may use a wildcard here to look for substrings, e.g. 'marty*' or '*mart*'. Acts on the current user if nothing is specified. ✨
• [-u] — look for users only (by default, search the whole directory).
• [-g] — look for groups only (by default, search the whole directory).
• [-m] — look for machines only (by default, search the whole directory).

🌈 quick reminder for the girlies: if you don't pass any of -u, -g or -m, it's searching the entire directory, not just one lil slice of it.
