John, The "net" command is a close relative to the "net" command for windows. It will display information in a format more like windows or ldap-like output. If you do this type of "net" command on your samba install: net ads search "(SAMAccountName=adusername)" -P you will get all the entries from active directory, similar to the output from ADSIedit. The "-P" allows you to use your samba machine's credentials (if it is joined to the domain). net ads search "(&(objectCategory=computer)(name=*rhel*))" -P Allows ldap-like searching. "wbinfo" and "winbindd" allow translation from windows account formats to unix-like account formats. This is why the outputs are different. If you were to do a "getent passwd aduser" you will get a direct entry that is as if it was from /etc/passwd. It is actually getting info from "winbindd" and translating it on the fly. Hope that helps differentiate them.
