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 attachment 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.
