[Bug 602540] Re: "ldapadduser" adds the user and hangs

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ldapscripts - 1.9.0-2ubuntu1

---------------
ldapscripts (1.9.0-2ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * etc/ldapscripts.conf: Changed default password generation for initial
    usage.  Now uses "pwgen", as there is often not enough entropy to
    use the previous default, causing blocking/freezing. (LP: #602540)
  * debian/control:
    - Depend on pwgen.
    - Updated maintainer field to reflect policy.

Bug description:
I followed this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

I have installed the ldapscripts package and when I use the command "ldapadduser <user> <group>" 
It says the user has been added to LDAP but then it hangs if I press CTRL-C I can see the user has been added but the user has not been added to the group. I can then manually add the user to the group. 

There seams to be some issue with the "ldapadduser" command.
