Various options in clients/tools/common.c are set as follows:

/* referrals */ if( ldap_set_option( ld, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, referrals ? LDAP_OPT_ON : LDAP_OPT_OFF ) != LDAP_OPT_SUCCESS )

This means if the commandline option was provided, the option is turned on, otherwise it is turned off. I.e., the ldap.conf setting is completely overridden at all times.

All of these options cases should be fixed to only issue the ldap_set_option() call if the corresponding argument was provided, to allow the default setting to take effect when the arguments are not provided.

I suggest that we use option==1 for on, and option>1 for off, to minimize the impact of the change. (E.g., to explicitly turn off referrals, use ldapsearch -CC.)
