I like the fun in this article, but some nitpicks don't seem right to me. This kinda reminds me of cinemasins.

1) I would assume his dad talked about always having a backdoor as a kid, so that's why Sam tried backdoor as the second username

2) temp.cfg isn't an unreasonable config filename. We don't know what the source code is. My guess would be that he hardcoded temp.cfg in the source because something wasn't working, and continued working on the actual bug

3) Killing processes to free memory? He reached for a kill -9 and then a regular kill. That hints to me that he recognized those two processes and knew -9 was required only for the first. He probably checked to see if he had enough memory, saw that he did, and then started cleaning up the processes.

4) Linux and SolarOS? Couldn't the other terminal just have been sshed to another box? That seems most reasonable to me.
