Hi, In our situation ldap is not configured on the scanning host so that the 'owner' field in the database is mostly numerical (except for local users).
If you have that type of database, then you can search using the wildcard "*" and brackets: $ rbh-find -f lustre1 --user "123[34]*" /lustre1 This feature is not documented in the man page, maybe the search patterns can be more elaborate I am not an expert of the robinhood internals. I also think the database should only contain uid and gid. The name resolution would be done afterwards by the query tools.
