Ok, this box is driving me crazy 
I managed to get a foothold using the “An Ethical Hacker’s Cookbook” good read 
Then I try it again and I get permission denied when attempting to SSH.
That aside (for now) when I was inside there, I managed to see an interesting file “*.bak”
Tried to crack it using john and the usual file but no go… am I on the right track here?
A nudge would be good
Cheers!
Ok, updated, got my foothold back, typos in my commands (head smack)
Still need the nudge for the *.bak file…
