Package: john Version: 1.7.3.1-1 Severity: normal I installed john and uncommented the lines in /etc/cron.d/john. Every morning, I get an email that says:
/sbin/start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 31449: No such process I finally got around to investigating, and found this: $ sudo john cronpasswd.lju83M No password hashes loaded I also tried all of the formats supported by john: $ for i in DES BSDI MD5 BF AFS LM NT mscash NETLM NETNTLM bfegg DOMINOSEC lotus5 raw-MD5 raw-sha1 IPB2 nsldap openssha HDAA; do echo $i; sudo john --format=$i cronpasswd.lju83M; done No joy. There seems to be a clue on the following pages: http://nixcraft.com/ubuntu-debian/14575-no-password-hashes-loaded-john-ripper.html http://pka.engr.ccny.cuny.edu/~jmao/node/26 I tried "aptitude build-dep john; apt-get source john" to download and compile the 1.7.8 sources from sid and used dpkg to install the two packages. Now I get this: $ sudo john cronpasswd.lju83M Loaded 5 password hashes with 5 different salts (generic crypt(3) [?/64]) Which is good. Since wheezy is getting close to being released, and it's running the same version as sid, I'd be content for you to close this bug now. I created this report to help out others that might be affected by this. Nonetheless, it would be very helpful to fix this problem in squeeze or in backports. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (600, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (90, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- Bill Wohler <woh...@newt.com> aka <bill.woh...@nasa.gov> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
