Yes, yes you did (after reviewing and finally understanding
yesterday's mail).

I did find yesterday's mistake. I compared my current wordlist to the
wordlist generated by combining the files listed above. Actually they
probably should have been identical but they wheren't.
I had not initially compared my wordlist (not the list from the listed
files) with the "all" list.
You where right also in that I gained very few additional entries
when I combined my list (the list without the oddly formatted file)
with the all list (sort -u of both and ran through # wc). There were
relatively few additions.
Oddly/luckily/ironically, the local acronyms I wanted to add where
present in the new file, they must have come from the "all" file since
they had not been in my original password list which was a superset
of the listed-files. So if I'd gone with the "all" file to begin with...
or installed the updated 1.7x version of John...

You are right, relatively few.

I will, looks like a very worth while thing to do, especially as we
have weakened our front end password change mechanism (I didn't know
that until yesterday). [Just as soon as I build a container for DNS
running "views" and build/test AMANDA to see if I can split/span DLE's
across tape volumes and recover them.]

I'll stop distracting you then, you can help many. :-)
thank you,
