 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.

 Robert

The group names from these two commands display differently.   For example:

$  net ads user info my-name -U my-name

$ wbinfo -g
