I have version 4.1 of crack running under Solaris 2.5 and found that it
removes all entries in the passwd file, including the valid ones. I
use shadmrg to merge the shadow file with the passwd file. I have traced
the problem to do_join which looks like it generates an empty file.
I'm not an expert with awk so before I look into this in more detail
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I ran crack on
a passwd file from a sunos machine and it works fine. I looked into this
more and found that the problem is the password itself. I took identical
entries from 2 different passwd files (the only difference was the password)
and found that crack worked fine with one but not the other.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
