afair, rpm -e john ...

if it is not there, it cannot check your passwords :)
probably mv /usr/sbin/john{,.the.ripper} will do, too ...

rpm -i john:
"John the Ripper" detects weak passwords like first names, common
expressions etc. on your system.

uhm, do you really want to have those passwords on your machine?
