   It's difficult to say, without seeing the file. You have to follow the
format of a typical Unix password file, or john will ignore the lines:

   :{SHA}hEqt9R50vHZ+EheHW+JOJKvNWpw=:::::::
   :{SHA}+A0MoQHpZ7ULcw3fjorKDehejfY=:::::::

   You don't have to tell JtR the format: as there is only
one type of password in the file, that's what it will crack.

   You say john ignored your file ... that suggests it was
badly formed. If you got some explicit message, it would help
knowing what it said.
