The shadow file is /etc/shadow, Bruce, not /etc/passwd-.

Fwiw, I just created a binary of "John the Ripper" that'll work on a
RaQ4.  Should I put it into my ftp server, or just make it available on
request?

Running "John the Ripper" against your shadow file is a GOOD thing...
it'll let you see how many of your clients use easy-to-guess passwords.

If anyone wants a copy, until/unless I decide to make it available by
anonymous ftp, write me for it... but please don't use jblists (my
mailing address for lists); instead follow the link in my sig; you'll
reach me a lot more quickly that way.

Thanks!

Jeff
