root pass (not an issue, more a comment)

[csloz]

You could have mentioned the root pass was tina :)
I had to spend literal seconds to find that out.

cat /etc/shadow
root:91rMiZzGliXHM:1:0:99999:7:::

brew install john
cat root:91rMiZzGliXHM:1:0:99999:7::: > passwd

john passwd
Loaded 1 password hash (descrypt, traditional crypt(3) [DES 64/64])
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status
tina (root)

Use the "--show" option to display all of the cracked passwords reliably
