John the ripper in BT4

[snaes]

Its probably something easy, but I cannot figure this out. I cannot get john the ripper to work properly with BT4 prefinal. Ive tried numerous things from cracking a password, --show, --test, etc. No matter what i type in It just shows the "john --help screen" with all the different options.

Also if i boot to BT3, john works fine, but i would like it to work in bt4...

Here is what i type in: (all i get is the page with options)
john file.txt
john --show file.txt
john --test

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Do not bump your posts use the edit button instead.
There certainly is no need for that on the same day within hours of one another. Re-read the rules you agreed to.

Heres what john does on my install of BT4 Prefinal when I run it.

root@bt4pf:~# john[*] This script will take you to /pentest/passwords/jtr/[*] From there, run ./john <parameters>
root@bt4pf:/pentest/passwords/jtr#

So basically you need to be in the /pentest/passwords/jtr directory and run john using "./john" or you need to run john using the full path of "/pentest/passwords/jtr/john".
