================
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.]

using best available mechanism. (authzid prompting to be disabled)
To use simple bind, -x is required (implied if -P 2) with -D/-[Ww]
To use simple "anonymous" bind, just -x will do.
Also, as written, the code will behave better in the face of unsolicited
noticifications (such as notice of disconnect). However, code needs to
be improved to better distinguished such from expected result response.
Delete improvements are limited to base object delete. Should be applied
to -p[rune] option as well.
-R now ignored
-C added to chase. No rebind proc yet, no checking of appropriate authentication.
complain if non-critical TLS was not started.
Fail if requested version is not supported.
ldapdelete:
deletechildren modified to use ldap_search_ext_s()
fixed deletechildren dn memory leak
ldapsearch:
modified to use ldap_search_ext()
references, extended results, and extended partial results. LDIF
extended to support these new features and reported version 2.
-L now limits output to LDIFv1 for compatibility reasons. No
-L is now LDIFv2. Old alternative form is no longer supported.
Use LDAP_TMPDIR (in ldap_config.h) instead of hardcoded /tmp
Use LDAP_FILE_URI_PREFIX (in ldap_config.h) instead of hardcoded
file://tmp/
an internal flag set. Used for SEQUENCE testing. Flag must
be set using debugger. Modified ber_printf to use new format
were needed for extensibility testing.
Added first cut -lldap support for extended responses.
Modified ldapsearch(1) to handle v3 search references when not
chasing. Also added extended/unsolicited notification handling
and extended partial response handling. Changes include a
number of LDIF enhancements.
Fixed getpassphrase() returns NULL bugs
