ldapsearch with -y option

["Angel L. Mateo" <amateo@um.es>]

Hello,

	Maybe it's a silly question, but I'm going crazy and I don't found the 
solution. I want to use the -y option in a ldapsearch command, so I have 
write my password in a file (plain text file with the password in plain 
text), then I run the

ldapsearch -y <mypasswordfile> <other options>

	and I get an invalid credential error. I have checked several times 
that the password is correct. I have debuged the request with wireshark 
and I have checked that the only difference in the bind request is that 
-y option is adding a final 0x0a char to the password.

	Any idea?

PS: if this could help, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I have created the 
password file with vi (I have also tried creating it with gedit and with 
echo "..." > <file>)
