Package: john Version: 1.7.2-2 Severity: normal On running john, after a number of passes (not sure how many but it did print out some username/password pairs so it has run some tests already), john dies with
fopen: /etc/john/password.lst: No such file or directory 15:29:16$ dpkg -L john-data | grep password.lst /usr/share/john/password.lst This is due to the Debian patch "fix_paths.patch", -#define JOHN_SYSTEMWIDE_HOME "/usr/share/john" +#define JOHN_SYSTEMWIDE_HOME "/etc/john" I think /usr/share/john is probably the correct place for the word lists, however. It seems '$JOHN' is expanded to JOHN_SYSTEMWIDE_HOME at runtime. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages john depends on: ii john-data 1.7.2-2 active password cracking tool - ch ii libc6 2.7-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries john recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
