Indeed.  I told you that filename a few messages back. ;-)

I don't think you needed to do that.

All of the above files and many more have been considered for the
Openwall collection and either merged (in some form) or rejected.
I've just checked - I have a total of 1,335 input wordlist files that
were considered for the collection.  (Most were duplicates with only
minor file format conversions, etc.  Many were poor quality.)

I don't expect that you will get (m)any more passwords cracked with your
expanded wordlist than you would with plain all.lst.

More importantly, you need to pick the new revision of password.lst from
JtR 1.7+ - it has quite some very common passwords added compared to the
revision from JtR 1.6 (that went into all.lst in the currently available
revision of the Openwall collection).  You'll need to merge that new
password.lst with the all.lst file that you've downloaded (place the
password.lst entries first).  Alternatively, you can pick the new
revision of all.lst from JtR Pro - it already has the new password.lst
in it (and more).

Yes, it's high time I put out a new revision of the Openwall wordlists
collection with the new password.lst merged and with many more pending
changes...
