Description Milos Malik 2009-01-23 14:59:32 UTC
Description of problem:
OpenLDAP utilities like ldapcompare, ldapexop, ldappasswd and ldapwhoami print usage messages which contain unsupported options.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

openldap-servers-2.4.12-1.fc10.i386
openldap-2.4.12-1.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ touch something.txt
$ ldapcompare 2>&1 | grep -- "-f"
  -f file    read operations from `file'
$ ldapcompare -f something.txt 2>&1 | head -n 2
ldapcompare: invalid option -- 'f'
ldapcompare: unrecognized option -f
$ ldapexop 2>&1 | grep -- "-f"
  -f file    read operations from `file'
$ ldapexop -f something.txt 2>&1 | head -n 2
ldapexop: invalid option -- 'f'
ldapexop: unrecognized option -f
$ ldappasswd --help 2>&1 | grep -- "-f"
  -f file    read operations from `file'
$ ldappasswd -f something.txt 2>&1 | head -n 2
ldappasswd: invalid option -- 'f'
ldappasswd: unrecognized option -f
$ ldapwhoami --help 2>&1 | grep -- "-f"
  -f file    read operations from `file'
$ ldapwhoami -f something.txt 2>&1 | head -n 2
ldapwhoami: invalid option -- 'f'
ldapwhoami: unrecognized option -f
