FWIW: I needed to add a line with Environment="IP=192.168.121.218" "ROOT=/etc/tinydns/root" "UID=tinydns" "GID=tinydns" in the service section.

Needed to do the same thing as muelli when using the binary from the djbdns package in Ubuntu.

I run the old dbndns Debian package and I have /etc/tinydns/run taking care of IP, ROOT, GID and UID already.

I mean... I have not seen the run script, but PIDFile is likely wrong. And definitively not needed.

@muelli Your UID and GID variables are dangerously wrong: tinydns does not complain, but will not drop root privileges. They should be filled with integers.
