You've got something else going on cause it works on mine. (Are you
sure that you're using the bash shell?)
[todd@fiji ~/tmp]$ cat file1
#!/bin/bash
#
newldif="./file2"
#
cat > $newldif <<hrdoc
dn: uid=$1,ou=Computers,dc=microverse,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
uidNumber: $store
uid: $1
cn: $1
gidNumber: $groupnum
homeDirectory: /dev/null
loginShell: /bin/false
gecos: Machine Account
description: Machine Account
hrdoc
#
cat $newldif
[todd@fiji ~/tmp]$ ./file1 todd
dn: uid=todd,ou=Computers,dc=microverse,dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount

uid: todd

1) You've got a misplaced backtick.
2) You're using different delimiters for the << hrdoc start point and
hrdoc endpoint.
Post the WHOLE script so we can see what you're doing. If you change
anything make sure you say exactly what you change.
