[Dovecot] No rawlog with LDAP

In regard to getting rawlog entries with passwd but not with LDAP:

In FBSD, you get the files associated with a process with
	fstat -p <pid> 
For an imap process opened under LDAP authentication, the output is
USER     CMD          PID   FD MOUNT      INUM MODE         SZ|DV R/W
postkont imap        5876 root /             2 drwxr-xr-x    1024  r
postkont imap        5876   wd /          7961 drwx------     512  r
postkont imap        5876 text /usr     2301620 -r-xr-xr-x  326420  r
postkont imap        5876    0* internet stream tcp c5f1efc0
postkont imap        5876    1* internet stream tcp c5f1efc0
postkont imap        5876    2 /          7957 crw-rw-rw-    null  r
postkont imap        5876    3* local dgram c644bd20 <-> c6357f00

The working directory is marked by "wd" in the "FD" column. In this case, 
it's /. According to the man page, a "text" directory is an "executable 
text inode". I don't know what that means; I'm just quoting.

If I switch to passwd authentication, then I get two imap processes:
 5826  ??  S      0:00.01 imap [bob 127.0.0.1]
 5827  ??  I      0:00.00 imap: imap [bob:5826 rawlog] (imap)

fstat for the first is
USER     CMD          PID   FD MOUNT      INUM MODE         SZ|DV R/W
bob      imap        5826 root /             2 drwxr-xr-x    1024  r
bob      imap        5826   wd /usr     3960238 drwxr-xr-x    2560  r
bob      imap        5826 text /usr     2301620 -r-xr-xr-x  326420  r
bob      imap        5826    2 /          7957 crw-rw-rw-    null  r
bob      imap        5826    3* local dgram c6357640 <-> c6357f00
bob      imap        5826    7* local stream c6357500 <-> c644bc80

The working directory is now /usr, and there's a local stream that 
wasn't present with LDAP. 

fstat for the rawlog imap process is 
USER     CMD          PID   FD MOUNT      INUM MODE         SZ|DV R/W
bob      imap        5827 root /             2 drwxr-xr-x    1024  r
bob      imap        5827   wd /usr     3960238 drwxr-xr-x    2560  r
bob      imap        5827 text /usr     2301620 -r-xr-xr-x  326420  r
bob      imap        5827    0* internet stream tcp c5ea06c0
bob      imap        5827    1* internet stream tcp c5ea06c0
bob      imap        5827    2 /          7957 crw-rw-rw-    null  r
bob      imap        5827    3* local dgram c6357640 <-> c6357f00
bob      imap        5827    4 /usr     3976421 -rw-------       0  w
bob      imap        5827    5 /usr     3976422 -rw-------       0  w
bob      imap        5827    6* local stream c644bc80 <-> c6357500

This is probably way more info that you need, but little of this 
means anything to me, so I don't know what is significant and 
what isn't.
