--- Begin Message ---Package: crack-md5 Version: 5.0a-8 Severity: important /usr/sbin/Crack is broken in several ways: - It "does the right thing" with shadow passwords *only* if you run *exactly* "Crack /etc/passwd", so for example the command line recommended on Crack's manpage, "Crack -nice 10 /etc/passwd" does nothing. - It cds into /usr/share/Crack before running the real Crack, so if you've generated your own merged passwd/shadow file "fixedpasswd" (say) because "Crack -nice 10 /etc/passwd" doesn't work, then "Crack fixedpasswd" won't work because Crack will cd away from the directory in which "fixedpasswd" exists and then (I think) load /etc/passwd as some kind of default so Crack-Reporter comments (disorientingly, since you've fixed them in fixedpasswd) that it's ignoring all your shadowed passwords. At least a big note to the effect that ful pathnames are required for the password files would be useful - in the SYNOPSIS of the manpage for example. Better would be to extend /usr/sbin/Crack so that it does the right thing under more circumstances, including the cases documented in the manpage, and so that it notices when it's been given a relative pathname to the password file and either complains or fixes it up (for example by temporarily copying it to /var/run/Crack)... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages crack-md5 depends on: ii crack-common 5.0a-8 Password guessing program ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an crack-md5 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
