Password Cracking using Djohn

Subject: Password Cracking using Djohn
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2006 10:52:10 -0500
I work for an organization that currently assigns passwords to all
employees and we are moving over to user created passwords.  As part of
the move, we are wanting to implement a system that will try to brute
force the user passwords (raw-MD5) so that we can disable the account if
it is easily cracked.

That said, I have used John the Ripper and love it's abilities.  I
would, however, like to distribute the workload over two or three
systems.  The software I found to do this is Djohn which uses JtR as
it's base.  I have found the system to be a bit under documented for me.
 Has anybody used it successfully?  If so, could somebody assist me in
setting up and running the system?
