The system administrator wishes to use John the Ripper to confirm that the passwords in a file called passwords are not weak. john has finished but the terminal window running the program has…

There is no `john list passwords` command in John the Ripper for this purpose.

`john --list` is used to list supported formats, options, or information about the program, not cracked passwords.

`john --show` alone would attempt to show all cracked passwords from the internal database without associating them to a specific input file, which may not be the desired output if multiple cracking sessions were run.

The `john --show <password_file>` command is specifically designed to display the cracked passwords from John's internal database that correspond to the hashes found in the specified input password file.
