Package: john Version: 1.7.8-1 Severity: important Hi,
I just tried running john from cron, this is what I get when it starts: /usr/share/john/cronjob: line 28: cd: /var/lib/john: No such file or directory mktemp: failed to create file via template `/var/run/john/cronpasswd.XXXXXX': No such file or directory We can see two errors there, both caused by non-existant directories.
