ldapscripts -- Command Line User Credentials Disclosure

Description:

Ganael Laplanche reports:

Up to now, each ldap* command was called with the -w parameter, which allows to specify the bind password on the command line. Unfortunately, this could make the password appear to anybody performing a `ps` during the call. This is now avoided by using the -y parameter and a password file.
