Oh. Well, I was expecting that the home directory and the shell 
attributes would be retrieved from AD--or else constructed from the 
'template homedir' and 'template shell' lines in smb.conf. The values I 
set there were:

      template shell = /bin/bash
      template homedir = /home/%U

but the getent is returning

HOME\jgraham:*:10000:100::/home/SAMDOM/jgraham:/bin/false

which appear to be the defaults for those two as opposed to what's 
specified in either smb.conf or AD.
