The John package (password cracker) write the file `john.pot'
in the root directory '/'.
I do not like that:
how  can we ask to John to write this file somewhere else ?


John writes the list of cracked passwords in ~/ which would be /root if run by the superuser. This should be a very secure directory, so it's probably as good a place as any.
