 I used john to crack all passwords on my system. Since i justed wanted to test the group which is allowed to login per SSH, I patched the cronjob.

To get your fix included in Ubuntu, it would help if you tried transforming it into a debdiff (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff) and submit it for review (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess). If you prefer somebody else to do that, that's fine - please just indicate if you're available to do that.

Hi Fabian,
I'm the Debian maintainer of john, and have included your changes in 1.7.2-4. Next time, please provide a clean patch (the first one you attached was full of tabs/whitespace changes, and it was hard to find the _real_ patch...)
As soon as this package is uploaded to Debian, you should request a sync for john (it will also close LP#116890).

Regards,
David
