Subject: Bug John, suppression de /etc/shadow

Package: John

Apres une mise a jour du package John il y a environ 4 jours,
mon /etc/shadow etait supprime toutes les nuits.
John etait dans la cron afin de verifier toutes les nuits
les mots de passes des utilisateurs, et lors de son demarrage,
il supprimais directement les fichiers /etc/shadow* et quittais.

Mon fichier de conf :
#cat /etc/john/john-mail.conf

    # These are the shells that should be ignored by john. If you
    # install falselogin, for example, you may want to add it to
    # the list.
    shells=-,/bin/false,/dev/null,/bin/sync

    # This is the mail command. You may actually use any program
    # here; the message in /etc/john.msg will be piped into it,
    # with the login name and host name substituted.
    # You may want to use a program to log information about
    # weak passwords (but that means sensitive information would be
    # kept somewhere - be careful!)
    mailcmd=/usr/sbin/sendmail

    # This is the passfile, which defines a temporary file that contains
    # the content of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow while the cronjob is run.
    # Since this file contains sensible data, no default is provided and
    # you need to specify a file name to be used."
    passfile=/etc/shadow

Un # de la derniere ligne a reussit a supprimer le probleme.
Le package est desinstalle.
