john cracks password files if I remember rightly. md5 encoded password files don't look like that, they look like this guest:$1$3nvOlOaw$vRWaitT8Ne4sMjf9NOrVZ.:13071:0:99999:7::: (not a real password line!) You need to work out how to write that format. >From memory: the "$1" bit means it is an md5 hash, the next "$3nvOlOaw$" is the salt and the final "$vRWaitT8Ne4sMjf9NOrVZ." is the md5 hash in some encoded format or other! Some googling should reveal the correct algorithm! -- Nick Craig-Wood <n...@craig-wood.com> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
