This flag is not optional.
.TP
.BI \-d \ debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP.
.B ldappasswd
must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
.TP
.BI \-h \ ldaphost
Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
.TP
.B \-n
Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with

.BR \-d )
.TP
.BI \-s \ newPasswd
Set the user password to \fInewPasswd\fP.
.TP
.BI \-p \ ldapport
Specify an alternate port on which the ldap server is running.
.TP
.B \-v
Increase the verbosity of output.  Can be specified multiple times.
