Subject: John seems to exit without error

Hello

I am testing JTR Windows cracking, by first cracking the LM passwords and
then feeding the cracked passwords into another john session (with
--format=nt).
JTR loads the hashes and seems to exit without an error. Here are the
results (relax ! these are not my users' passwords- this is a test run on a
trial box)

John Show for an initial cracking session (with format--lm switch)

[sooda@...alhost run]$ ./john --show ../pwdfiles/pwoutput.txt

37 password hashes cracked, 8 left
[sooda@...alhost run]$


I then redirect the output to a txt file, as follows

[sooda@...alhost run]$ ./john --show /home/sooda/john-
1.7.0.2/pwdfiles/pwoutput.txt | cut -d: -f2 > /home/sooda/john-
1.7.0.2/pwdfiles/lm_cracked.txt
[sooda@...alhost run]$ cat ../pwdfiles/lm_cracked.txt

I then use this file with the mangling rules for a --format=nt crack (refer
previous post
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.openwall.john.user/620/match=ps)

- Notice that john immediately returns me to a $ prompt. Also - why did it
load 11 hashes? There are many more accounts .....

[sooda@...alhost run]$ ./john --wordlist=../pwdfiles/lm_cracked.txt --rules
--format=nt --session=ntcrack ../pwdfiles/pwoutput.txt
Loaded 11 password hashes with no different salts (NT MD4 [TridgeMD4])
guesses: 0  time: 0:00:00:00 100%  c/s: 34100  trying: Passwording
[sooda@...alhost run]$

I then did a ps -ef to see if john is running

[sooda@...alhost run]$ ps -ef |grep john
sooda   4434  2295  0 18:30 pts/2    00:00:00 grep john

I made sure no password had the ":" special character in them. JTR is
1.7.0.2 with the Jumbo patch on linux-x86-mmx

Why does John only load 11 hashes?
Why does it immediately return me to a $ prompt? - it did not do that with
the --format=LM switch.
Why does john not show up in the ps -ef?

Since these are test cases, I can even part with the dump file (which is a
pwdump3e output for a Windows 2000 Server)

Thanks in advance for all your help

Arvind
