Hi, clients/tools/ldapmodify.c, line 214 (OpenLDAP 2.2.5), checks if arguments were passed. If not, usage() is shown and the program exits. I think this is not correct. It should be possible to simply call ldapmodify / ldapadd without arguments and let it read from stdin. Comments are welcome. Greetings, Jukka -- bashian roulette: $ ((RANDOM%6)) || rm -rf ~
