Bug Description
When you start john (with the cron service '/usr/share/
mktemp: failed to create file via template `/var/run/
I have to make the dirs myself. And for /var/run this is especially inconvenient, because it is deleted upon reboot.
The file /etc/cron.d/john says you can simply uncomment the commands to make it work, but that is not the case, because of those missing dirs.
