I really like the new -y option to read the password from a file but it doesn't work. Also it broke the old behavior which read it from standard input if you used -W. I have a one line password file. I used to use this successfully with a command like: $ ldapsearch -x -H $TIM -s sub -b "dc=myorg, dc=org" "(uid=someuid)" uid cn < ~/.ldappw Now this command just prompts me for the password. And when I try -y, it seems that an 0x0a character is added to the password string (I found this by using tcpdump to capture the packets), so that fails with "Invalid credentials (49)".
