I am noticing something interesting with ldapmodrdn on 2.3.7.  In the manpage,
it states one or more blank lines may be used to separate each DN/RDN pair. 
However,
if I create a file with multiple entries in it, seperated by a blank line, it
appears ldapmodrdn is not ignoring the blank line or using it as a seperator. 
Instead
it appears to take its value as null.

For example, if my file contains the following, the first entry will succeed,
but the second will fail w/ Invalid DN syntax.

uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest1@mydomain.net

uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest2@mydomain.net

uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest3@mydomain.net

uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest4@mydomain.net

uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest5@mydomain.net


Running ldapmodrdn -r -n -v -f testbad, shows                                   
                                                                                
                          Renaming
"uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest1@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming ""
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net" (delete
old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest2@mydomain.net"
        new rdn="" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest3@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming ""
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net" (delete
old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest4@mydomain.net"
        new rdn="" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest5@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)

If I modify the file and remove all blank lines, so it looks like this.

uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest1@mydomain.net
uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest2@mydomain.net
uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest3@mydomain.net
uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest4@mydomain.net
uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net
uid=modrdntest5@mydomain.net

They will all succeed.

Renaming "uid=modrdntest1,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest1@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest2,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest2@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest3,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest3@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest4,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest4@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)
Renaming "uid=modrdntest5,ou=users,ou=radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net"
        new rdn="uid=modrdntest5@mydomain.net" (delete old rdn)

Is ldapmodrdn supposed to use a blank line to seperate the dn/rdn pairs?
