pdbedit(

findsmb(1)
The findsmb command can be used to find SMB servers on the local network.
net(
The net command is supposed to work similar to the DOS/Windows NET.EXE command.
swat(
swat is a web-based interface to configuring smb.conf.
winbindd(
winbindd is a daemon that is used for integrating authentication and the user database into unix.
wbinfo(1)
wbinfo is a utility that retrieves and stores information related to winbind.
profiles(1)
profiles is a command-line utility that can be used to replace all occurences of a certain SID with another SID.
log2pcap(1)

vfstest(1)
vfstest is a utility that can be used to test vfs modules.
ntlm_auth(1)

smbmount(
, smbumount(
, smbmnt(
smbmount,smbumount and smbmnt are commands that can be used to mount CIFS/SMB shares on Linux.
