Hi all.

I'm facing problem I'm not so sure how to resolve (still looking into various places, though). I made the startup script for the TeamSpeak server compatible with chkconfig, as I find it a very conveniet way to start the service if the server goes off line for any reason. However apparently this will bring up the server with UID 0, AKA, root. The big warning about not using root message comes up and all, but this poses a problem: Bootup of the server is severely slowed down! (I know, I know, was made like that on purpose, so people wouldn't go by running the server as root and wrecking havoc should anything happen).

I know this is not privative to TeamSpeak, but was wondering how would I go about doing this, and if anyone in these forums knew.

TIA!
