Maybe different handling of the single quotes around the password in
your user shell and the script's shell? Just a wild guess though.
Well, I'm doing the single quotes to hide any special characters (the
actual password contains a bang ("!") in it).
I vaguely remember that I had problems with ! even when quoted. How
about setting and trying another password.
Those issues are exactly the reasons why I always recommend to use a
decent scripting language like Perl, Python or others with a decent LDAP
module instead of a shell-script which invokes the command-line tools.
Escaping/quoting rules for strings and also error handling is much
better there.
Ciao, Michael.
