Hi Alex,

Please bring this discussion to "john-users" mailing list where you
will find john related answers.

In short,

For cracking OS X Keychains (which you seem to be doing) you need
jumbo version of john. You can get it from
https://github.com/magnumripper/magnum-jumbo. After doing "git clone",
build john, run keychain2john program on login.keychain.bak file and
then run john on the output of keychain2john.

Another option is to obtain OS X hashes (using lion2john.pl program,
included with john-jumbo) and crack those to figure out the login
password. This option will be way faster than trying to crack the
Keychain.
