I got the source via:  http://www.openwall.com/john/

Look right below the Github location.

I don't like updating some other group's wiki.  What would I change, not 
being part of the work effort?

But I have JtR running now with my limited mask.  Status gives an ETA of 
19Hr.

Thank you for all your help.

If I am wrong about the password mask, I have worked out a way to MAYBE 
move sudo (btw, this is Redsleeve 6 distro) to my user account and see 
if that works.  If not then the pain of the taking the system down and 
resetting the password.  Afterall, I could have a power outage that 
exceeds my UPS capacity...
