Results of ldapsearch piped to grep are cut off
Code:
ldapsearch -x -LLL -E pr=200/noprompt -h abc-loc.somecompany.com -D "account@somecompany.com" -w password -b "cn=groupname,ou=Resource,ou=groups,dc=abc,dc=somecompany,dc=com" | grep member

Results are:

Code:
member: CN=Hanson\, Joe,OU=End Users,OU=Accounts,DC=abc,DC=somecompany,DC=com
member: CN=Hansen\, Bill P,OU=End Users,OU=Accounts,DC=abc,DC=somecompany,DC=c
member: CN=Hansun\, Randy,OU=End Users,OU=Accounts,DC=abc,DC=somecompany,DC=co

Note that the tail end of the results are cut off on the last two lines. What could cause this?

From the manpage of ldapsearch. Maybe it is of help:

Code:
       -o opt[=optparam]

              Specify general options.

              General options:
                nettimeout=<timeout>  (in seconds, or "none" or "max")
                ldif-wrap=<width>     (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping)

Duh! I need to remember to use the manpages. ldif-wrap took care of the problem per the ldapsearch below.

Code:
ldapsearch -x -LLL -E pr=200/noprompt -o ldif-wrap=no -h abc-loc.somecompany.com -D "account@somecompany.com" -w password -b "cn=groupname,ou=Resource,ou=groups,dc=abc,dc=somecompany,dc=com" | grep member
