LDAPSEARCH will always include a trailing newline if there is data; is this technically correct behaviour?
Can you please elaborate what's the issue with this is? I don't know any implementation which has problems with it. BTW: python-ldap's module ldif also generates an empty line at the end of each record, also the last one. And off course when parsing entries this is handled as well.
I turned the guts of my "ldapdiff" utility into a Perl function to make it available to other scripts, and a colleague complained that when comparing two identical entries a blank line was returned, which I assumed was correct behaviour i.e. no LDIF update commands but you still get the trailing line.
