    The comments in sbbs.service:# Synchronet BBS startup file - Setup instructions## 1. Modify the environment variables to match your SBBS setup# 2. Modify User and Group. If you run this as root you don't need# the ExecStartPre line.# 3. Modify the ExecStart and ExecStartPre paths to match your# Synchronet setup.# 4. Place this file in the correct location. For Ubuntu 16.04# you should place it in /lib/systemd/system# 5. Enable the service with "systemctl enable sbbs"# 6. To run the service without restarting "systemctl start sbbs"Are misleading (do not contain all of the required info to set up sbbs.service for a non root user).Suggest comments are repalced with a link to the wiki:- https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:systemd

    I think the latest sbbs.service file has good instructions and the wiki page should refer to this file in gitlab rather than have a slightly different version of the file/instructions.
