I am trying to get sbbs running as a systemd daemon, but for some reason 
the manual on the wiki does not seem to work.
I copied this into the override file (this is from 
https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/systemd/sbbs.service 
as linked from the wiki):

[Unit]
Description=Synchronet BBS
Documentation=http://wiki.synchro.net/
After=syslog.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
NotifyAccess=all
Environment=SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl
User=sbbs
Group=sbbs
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
ExecStart=/sbbs/exec/sbbs d
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=30
LimitNOFILE=10000

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

but no matter what I do I get the following answer back when reloading 
the daemon and checking it:

sbbs@erebor:~ $ systemctl status sbbs
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of 
sbbs.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-re>
¨ sbbs.service - Synchronet BBS
      Loaded: bad-setting (Reason: Unit sbbs.service has a bad unit file 
setting.)
     Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/sbbs.service.d
              ÀÄoverride.conf
      Active: inactive (dead)
        Docs: http://wiki.synchro.net/
              http://wiki.synchro.net/

does anyone know what to do in this case?
