are you just using the shadow file?
to crack it with john you have to correlate it with the passwd file.
there should be a tool in your john directory, which is called unshadow.
so safe the shadow and passwd from the machine and do the following:
unshadow passwd.txt shadow.txt > tocrack.txt
then tocrack.txt can be cracked by john
hope that helps.
cheers,
frank
