================ Written by Hallvard B. Furuseth and placed into the public domain. This software is not subject to any license of the University of Oslo. ================ Adapted by Kurt Zeilenga for inclusion in OpenLDAP. My comments are marked with enclosed with square brackets (e.g. [Kurt's comment] below. ================ If I run ldapmodify & co from a script, I don't want to use '-W password' because the password shows up in the output of 'ps' for everyone, and I can't pipe the password to 'ldapmodify -w' because -w uses getpassphrase() which reads from the tty instead of stdin. So I added '-y file' which reads the password from file. The programs exit if the file cannot be read. [Complete contents of file is used as password. Use: echo -n "secret" > password to create a file with "secret" as the password. The -n avoids adding a newline (which would invalidate the password). Note that echo is a builtin and hence its arguments are not visible to 'ps'.] I changed ldapmodify, ldapmodrdn, ldapdelete, ldapsearch, ldapcompare. I did not bother to change ldappasswd and ldapwhoami, because they prompt for many passwords. [I fixed up ldapwhoami.] Rerun autoconf after applying this patch. [Done.] Note: I do not know if Windows NT has fstat(), so I set HAVE_FSTAT to undef in portable.nt. (fstat() is used to warn if the file is publicly readable or writeable.) [I used fstat() to set the buffer size to read.] [Note: using the contents of a file extends the tools to support passwords which could not normally be provided using getpassphrase() or via the command line.] Hallvard B.
