Package: ldap-utils
Version: 2.0.23-10
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Here is an example:
ldapsearch -b ou=Creatures,ou=Bushwood,ou=CaddyShack,dc=singlestep,dc=com -LLL
uid=CarlsSpecialGrass
Results:
dn: uid=CarlsSpecialGrass,ou=Creatures,ou=Bushwood,ou=CaddyShack,dc=singlestep
,dc=com
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
uid: CarlsSpecialGrass
cn: CarlsSpecialGrass
uidNumber: 100000
gidNumber: 100000
homeDirectory: /home/grass
Notice that the dn: line has a linefeed 74 characters after dn: (dn:_<74
characters>\n). Is there a reason it should be doing this?
This same thing will happen on any DN: longer than 74 characters. The
remainder gets put on the next line. In this case, (,dc=com).
Thank you.

This has been done upstream, in ITS#6645: ldapsearch(1) now supports "-o
ldif-wrap=N" to wrap at an arbitrary column and "-o ldif-wrap=no" to
disable wrapping altogether. That change was released in OpenLDAP
2.4.24, which has been in Debian for some time now, so I believe this
bug is done.
thanks,
Ryan
