    * **Type**. If you are to run SBBS in daemonized mode, the main executable will exit after the daemon is called. This could confuse systemd into thinking the process is finished. If you use "Type=forking" you tell systemd that the process you launch will execute another process.    * **Type**.

-   * **PermissionsStartOnly**. This one tells systemd to execute ExecStartPre as root, but ExecStart as the user and group declared in User,Group.+   * **User/Group**. **Remove these** if you would like sbbs to start as root and then drop privileges to the User & Group configured in your sbbs.ini.  If you leave these in, comment out the User/Group settings in sbbs.ini and possibly remove **PermissionsStartOnly** and **ExecStartPre** as well, as they would be unnecessary. 
 +   * **PermissionsStartOnly**. This one tells systemd to execute ExecStartPre as root, but ExecStart as the user and group declared in User,Group.  Can be removed if you remove the User/Group lines.
    * **ExecStartPre**. For some weird reason, capabilities are frequently lost from the sbbs executable. It is possible to mitigate the effect by running setcap just before the daemon is ran. The binding won't fail anymore using this. Please notice you can't point a symlink here, so modify the architecture directory to the right path (gcc.linux.x64.exe.release or gcc.linux.exe.release).    * **ExecStartPre**.

Syslog is implicit when daemonized, so there is no need for additional parameters.     * **ExecStart**.
