Description Kristis Makris 2003-10-17 09:53:39 UTC 
The converstSambaAccount script does not always work.

In particular, when the ldif file is generated using:

ldapsearch -x -h ldapsrv -D cn=root,dc=company,dc=com -b dc=company,dc=com

then at the end it contains the entries:

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 99
# numEntries: 98


...at least using the ldapsearch utility that comes from the RedHat package
openldap-clients-2.0.27-2.7.3

This yields the error message:

First line of LDIF entry does not begin with 'dn:' at ./convertSambaAccount line 133



A better way to generate that LDIF file is:

ldapsearch -LL -x -h ldapsrv -D cn=root,dc=company,dc=com -b dc=company,dc=com

Note the "-LL" argument so no comments whatsoever are generated. It would be
nice if this was clarified in the script's documentation, and also reflected in
the document that is currently available at:

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
