I came across this:

Red Hat 7.2 has been unsupported since 2003 and I don’t see lsuser on my Slackware or Gentoo installs which are current but the advice about passwd is good.

There isn’t a direct equivilant.
Check out “chage” for password expiry information
For home folder, user comment etc;
grep username /etc/passwd
grep username /etc/groups
