I have to admit I've been having fun on that site this evening... :-)
There are some silly things to check for on the early levels....   I was
thinking too complicated at first.  One thing it showed me is that I need to
improve my skills with the find command.

Another hurdle I had to get over was that I was always trying to think of
how to get root.  These levels are mainly about using a trick to jump to
another user.
