@ -108,6 +108,18 @@ Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password for simple authentication.
.BI \-y \ passwdfile
Use complete contents of \fIpasswdfile\fP as the password for
simple authentication.
Note that \fIcomplete\fP means that any leading or trailing whitespaces,
including newlines, will be considered part of the password and,
unlike other software, they will not be stripped.
As a consequence, passwords stored in files by commands like
.BR echo (1)
will not behave as expected, since
.BR echo (1)
by default appends a trailing newline to the echoed string.
The recommended portable way to store a cleartext password in a file
for use with this option is to use
.BR slappasswd (8)
with \fI{CLEARTEXT}\fP as hash and the option \fI\-n\fP.
