Dear Maintainer,

"zless /usr/share/doc/john/FAQ.gz" refers to several commands, which don't seem to be present or installed?

eg section:
"
Some other file formats are supported via
extra tools (supplied with John): unafs (Kerberos AFS database files),
undrop (Eggdrop IRC bot userfiles), ssh2john (OpenSSH private keys),
pdf2john (some password-protected PDF files), rar2john (some
password-protected RAR archives), zip2john (some password-protected
PKZIP and WinZip archives).
"

so for example XXX2john to extract the hash does not work?

hth,
Wim
