I've had John running since Jan '08 and it's yet to break my password. Admittedly the password is non-trivial being 13 characters, mixed upper and lower case, numbers and punctuation but I keep expecting John to send me a note saying it's been cracked since John runs six hours each night and my computer is on at night more often than not. Is there some further configuration necessary to John installed with apt-get before it will crack normal Debian passwords? BTW, this is a mostly stock Etch system.
