Managing SMB File Sharing and Windows Interoperability in Oracle^® Solaris 11.3

How to Remove a Member From an SMB Group

1. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

2. Remove a user from the SMB group.

   # smbadm remove-member -m member-name [[-m member-name] ...] group-name

   member-name can be specified as [domain-name\]username or [domain-name/]username. The domain name is the domain in which the user can be authenticated. By default, the domain name is the name of the domain that you joined.

   The backslash (\) is a shell special character and must be quoted. For instance, escape the backslash with another backslash: domain\\username. For more information about handling shell special characters, see the man page for your shell.

   For example, to remove user john of the sales domain from the wsales group, type:

   # smbadm remove-member -m sales\\john wsales

   You can remove a local user from an SMB group in workgroup mode by specifying the Oracle Solaris user name rather than the domain name. For example, to remove local user john of the solarsystem host from the wsales group, type:

   # smbadm remove-member -m solarsystem\\john wsales
