Comment 2 Josip Vilicic 2022-11-15 19:50:34 UTC 
Closing this ticket as NOTABUG - there are 2 ways to perform a `getent` command when a RHEL host is joined to AD with Winbind:

   # getent passwd DOMAIN\\aduser

or

   # getent passwd "DOMAIN\aduser"

In our docs, we have the second option, but the first (that the original reporter asked about) is equally as valid.


For cross-reference, please see Step 7 in KCS article "How do I join RHEL to Active Directory using Winbind?"  https://access.redhat.com/solutions/43065.
