package: debian-edu-config
severity: normal
version: svn-r74294

Hi all,



This article describes how to circumvent this:

<quote>
##
## removes line wrappings: perl -p00e 's/\r?\n //g'
##

# Example

The change should at least be applied to gosa-create in

  /usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools



Greets,
Mike

I recently discovered a problem when parsing ldapsearch output. Ldapsearch wraps lines longer than 78 chars (or so). ldapsearch -xLLL -h oh.mighty.ldapserver -b dc=example,dc=com | perl -p00e 's/\r?\n //g' But maybe there are more places where to fix this... The problem becomes evident if you have long DN strings in LDAP (that is: a versatile OU structure in the LDAP DIT).
