Package: john Version: 1.6-37 Severity: important In /etc/cron.d/john the environment variable JOHN_OPTIONS is commented out but mentioned. When I uncomment this and add the option -user:-<user> where <user> is a user on my system john does not start via the cron mechanism. I have looked at the script /usr/share/john/cronjob and am a bit stumped why this happens.
