john is weird!



i installed john because i want to enforce strong passwords. i think
that's a legit thing to do. however, i don't think john ever did
anything. i get these messages *all the time* from all systems i have
john on via cron.

even though there are only 14 accounts on this particular one, i doubt
that john checks all passwords with 0 guesses and in 1.59 seconds!

/etc/cron.daily/john:
guesses: 0  time: 0:00:01:59 100%  c/s: 1004  trying: lhannes1969
Loaded 14 passwords with 14 different salts (FreeBSD MD5 [32/32])
0 messages sent

----- End forwarded message -----

this is a vanilla install with the only modification being the line
  passfile=/root/.john-passfile

in /etc/john-mail.conf, as instructed in the preceding comment.

what am i doing wrong? or is john just broken?
