Full Text Bug Listing

please give us a working ebuild for this (using a old version, updating the
version-number leaves us with 

keksdose-mobile ~ # john
fopen: john.ini: No such file or directory

thanks

so some research provided this:

the binary which is put in /usr/sbin/john currently needs the john.conf in the
same directory it is, but only if it is called with his absolute path.

if you just start it typing "john" it will search for "john.conf" and if it
doesn't find this file it will search for "john.ini".

if you start it with "/usr/sbin/john" it will look for "/usr/sbin/john.conf"
and/or "/usr/sbin/john.ini".

if we could get it somehow to look for it's files in "/etc/john" we would have
john 1.6.40 running.

(i attach my actual ebuild, which is a just a bit modified 1.6.38)

Created an attachment (id=75519) [details]
partly working ebuild

Thanks for the partial Michael 

I''m working on incorportating http://www.banquise.net/misc/patch-john.html and
getting the /etc/ .. config files.

I've added 1.6.40 which is currently masked for testing and to fix a TEXTREL
associated with it.

Can you please test it by adding =app-crypt/johntheripper-1.6.40 to
/etc/portage/package.mask and emerge it.

In particular please test john is using the paths correctly for config and all
other files it uses.

Thanks.

file is /etc/portage/package.unmask - sorry.
