Hi All !

The John package (password cracker) write the file `john.pot'
in the root directory '/'.
I do not like that:
how  can we ask to John to write this file somewhere else ?

John writes the list of cracked passwords in ~/ which would be /root if run by the superuser.

I guess that I have a basic Woody box:
so why `john.pot' is in '/' but not in '/root' ?

This should be a very secure directory, so it's probably as good a place as any.

Yes, indeed.
