    With the "--broken" argument added to named.service then "systemctl start named" prints an error message and gives a non-zero exit status.

    This guy is a troll. "systemctl daemon-reload" just tells systemd the re-read its configuration files:

    daemon-reload
              Reload systemd manager configuration. This will reload all unit
              files and recreate the entire dependency tree. While the daemon is
              being reloaded, all sockets systemd listens on on behalf of user
              configuration will stay accessible.
     
              This command should not be confused with the load or reload
              commands.

    There is no reason to expect it to give an error.

    He "forgot" to try launching the broken service after changing the configuration. If he had done a "systemctl start named" he would see the error message and the error status from "systemctl start".

    systemd will nicely warn you if a unit file for a daemon changed. The output above should have had the warning:

    That's interesting, I didn't see this warning when I tried it first -- I'd guess because I installed named for this test and modified the unit file before starting it for the first time. If I modify the file again I see the warning.

    Why would you expect "systemctl daemon-reload" to return nonzero? It's "systemctl start" that tells you that named didn't start.

    What version of systemd are you testing this on?
