Setting up and securing a Linux Teamspeak server

This article will walk you through setting up a securing your Linux Teamspeak server, and how to set it up to run as a service that can also run at boot time. Just downloading and running the software is a really bad idea as it is not set up for security. If a vulnerability ever developed in the Teamspeak software and you were attacked, a attacker could get permissions equal to what user you have it running as. I will show you how to set up Teamspeak with rock solid security.

This is a general walk through for Teamspeak RC2 Linux Server.
