Bug#660822: john cron job doesn't run
In my version of /usr/share/john/cronjob, the logic of creating the $PIDDIR is not working. Change it from: [ ! -d $PIDDIR ] || mkdir -p $PIDDIR to: [ ! -d $PIDDIR ] mkdir -p $PIDDIR Hope this helps, -- Phil Package: john Version: 1.7.8-1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Since the other bug has been marked as wontfix (even though it seems strange for me for a package to write to ~root), it appears that the proper fix for this issue is to change RUNDIR and RESTORE in /usr/share/john/crontab from /var/lib/john to /root/.john. The important thing is that the cronjob script and the john binary are consistent. -- 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.

Creating /var/lib/john and setting the permissions to 700 fixes the problem, but this should be done during installation. -- 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.

Package: john Followup-For: Bug #660822 Hi, even after the fix in john 1.7.7-1 the folders /var/run/john /var/lib/john are not created and thats the reason why this cronjob won't run. Just create the folders manually until its fixed in john: mkdir -p /var/run/john mkdir -p /var/lib/john then the cronjob is running without a problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
