FAQ with DOS files

[<Hugo.van.der.Kooij@caiw.nl>]

Hi,

I found a common error for ldapadd (and other errors) that may skip your
attention.

If you use an LDIF file in DOS format (CR/LF) instead of unix format (LF)
you will see the LDIF file is not accepted. Even if the LDIF itself is
good.

Using a tool like dos2unix or a command like `tr -d "\r" < file.dos >
file.unix` will save the day.

Hugo.
