I was trying to run crack on a very small system. I used the instructions in RedHat Linux 8 bible including gettting a redhat friendly Makefile. I installed as per the instructions -- when I run the program i get the following: .... Crack: Merging password files... Crack: Creating gecos-derived dictionaries mkgecosd: making non-permuted words dictionary mkgecosd: making permuted words dictionary Crack: launching: cracker -kill run/Kvger.glenraven.com.7581 -nice 10 -mail Done I cant tell if this is running or not. When I do a report it doesnt seem to find any bad passwords -- it should find some. This is on a very small test system. How can I tell if it is running - there dont seem to be any processes running associated with it. I get alot of datahook error messages. Does anyone have a a place where I can get a version already tested against redhat 9.0 or suggest another package. ------------------ Marvin Blackburn Systems Administrator Glen Raven "He's no failure.
