Well, you just did.  :-)

Ach, sorry, I'm wasting your time.  Let's just see the TDSDUMP output.  (If 
you see your password in that log, you're using TDS 4.2 whether you mean to 
be or not.  But I doubt that's the case.)  

(The NetBSD sed(1) takes a -E option that mean "use extended regular 
expressions".  The GNU manual doesn't define its regex syntax, but, assuming 
it conforms to SuS3, it shouldn't support any -E option and should be limited 
to old-fashioned "basic" regular expressions.  I'll re-write osql in terms of 
basic regular expressions and drop the -E option.)  

Once we get your problem straightened out, I'd like to contact you off list 
to help fix mine.  My osql script won't be much use if it doesn't work with 
GNU sed on Linux boxes.  According to 
http://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/html_mono/sed.html#SEC2, there is no 
'-r' option, and your later output:

> odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini should be in /lib/ld-linux.so.2

isn't right; I'm sure "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" isn't a directory.  

Thanks for the feedback.
