Linux installation fails when secrets.txt in CRLF format

[marlowp]

Running the automated installer on Ubuntu with a secrets.txt file with a CRLF end of line sequence causes the installation to fail at the point that it attempts to login via TSM to register a licence. This is because the username and password have a trailing \r.

Should the automated installer be checking for this? It could convert the secrets.txt file to unix using dos2unix or a manual script that does the same if the installation of another package is deemed unnecessary.

Keen to get the maintainers view on this, it did take me a couple of hours to get to the bottom of so may save someone else the trouble in future.
