    afair, rpm -e john ...

    if it is not there, it cannot check your passwords :)
    probably mv /usr/sbin/john{,.the.ripper} will do, too ...

    rpm -i john:
    "John the Ripper" detects weak passwords like first names, common
    expressions etc. on your system.

    uhm, do you really want to have those passwords on your machine?
